I'm a lapsed Buddhist like I'm a lapsed Catholic. I take it to a point.

I don't know what DVD commentaries are about. I'd like to strangle the person who came up with that concept.

But I'm never gonna get to a point in my life where what it costs to shoot a movie is going to determine what it is. The limits of my imagination is the only thing that's gonna stop me.

I don't have a problem with Werner Herzog.

I direct, and I make movies I can't finance. I can't raise money. I can't sell anything. I make things.

I'm not a big fan of talking about dying. And then I make a movie where I kill everybody.
