In a post-9/11 world, everybody is looking over their shoulder and wondering if the next guy is the one who is going to take you down.

The world is littered with movies about people that are depressed that either did not come out or are not successful.

I don't like the outside world to intrude when I'm making a film. I like to either see my family or work, but I don't like to go out.

Knowing what paint a painter uses or having an understanding of where he was in the history of where he came from doesn't hurt your appreciation of the painting.

I like to nap. I do like to sleep. Sometimes I sleep in between takes.

I don't need to be Tom Cruise. I just need to work forever.
