Every relationship probably has, at its inception, a hundred things that you could pick on and divert you from it, but the feeling is there. You figure out a way to make it work.

One of the things you realize with a lot of high achievers: You have to figure out a way to make things their idea.

I want to work with performers who really are ready to lose their minds, you know? People who are established and have talent, but who are ready to break new ground and really be cracked open in a new way.

You make a movie and you'd like it to be appreciated, respected, embraced.

When you get out there on the mound, you've got what you've got, and you got to figure out a way to get outs.

It's a feeling you get. You could have a hundred actors reading for one part, and they could all be spectacular, but one sticks out for some reason.
