I don't know the significance of this, but I find it very interesting.
When I was done reading the poem, everyone was quiet. A very sad quiet. But the amazing thing was that it wasn’t a bad sad at all. It was just something that made everyone look around at each other and know that they were there. Sam and Patrick looked at me. And I looked at them. And I think they knew. Not anything specific really. They just knew. And I think that’s all you can ever ask from a friend.
I wish I knew. It might make me miss him more clearly. It might have made sad sense.
Most of the people I know who were raised to be accommodating or were raised to just be nice and put everybody's needs ahead of theirs, there comes a moment when the pressure builds and they can't do it anymore. They have needs and they feel neglected and they usually explode.
If you are in a movie theater, you can look two people down and they are laughing while you are laughing or you can look three people down and they love that song that you love. It is living proof that you are not alone.
I would make the movie industry more like the television industry. TV is more material driven. In TV, you can break new stars. TV can take more chances.
Movies, by nature, are not subjective, they're objective.
Everyone else is either asleep or having sex. I’ve been watching cable television and eating jello.
I know that things get worse before they get better because that’s what my psychiatrist says, but this is a worse that feels too big.
You should tell her how nice her outfit is because her outfit is her choice whereas her face isn't.
If the right thing came along, I would absolutely direct something I did not write because I love the process so much, but we'll see. I'm taking it day by day.
Harold and Maude' was a seminal movie for me because it's not only a beautiful love story, but it's also about the moment when misfits find each other.
It's nice to have things to look forward to.
It's okay to feel things. And be who you are about them.
