blessed people president
I lost a friend I was blessed to have. My thoughts are with the family of President Chavez and the people of Venezuela.
directing-movies directors actors
I can make a better living as an actor than I can as a director. Though I certainly would prefer to be directing movies.
life-and-death madness handguns
That was madness. You're never going to bring one of those down with a handgun.
directors actors excitement
I don't have any particular excitement about working with any specific director or actor at this point.
theatre directors excitement
There are a few directors around who I have some excitement about spending my $7 at the theatre watching their movies.
men thinking differences
That difference do you think you can make, one man in all this madness?
daughter parenting firsts
I'm not going to have a better day, a more magical moment than the first time I heard my daughter giggle.
breakfast
I'm not a breakfast eater.
organization issues haiti
As a foreign worker in Haiti, speaking for myself, speaking for the workers, our organization is about 95 percent Haitian, but even foreign workers driving through, we have had very minimal security issues.
stupid mean self
Well, the kind of central question: "Do you want to live - and I don't mean stay alive - do you want to feel your life while you're living it?" You know, there's somewhere to go that was here before we were and is going to be here after us, so get out there in it. It doesn't take somebody who's got some self-important sense of their own attachment to nature to recognise that you're just stupid if you don't go out there.
sarcastic peers disgusting
If there's anything disgusting about the movie business, it's the whoredom of my peers.
thinking minutes
I think you start to prepare the minute you read something.
I really love to make movies.
photography thinking disease
I still think photographers should be lashed out at. They should be put in a cage where you can poke them with a stick for a quarter. But not in a hostile way, just for giggles. They really are on the attack against mankind; it's a disease. They should be helped somewhere. But I'd still like to poke them with a stick.
