I always liked characters that were more grounded in reality.

I mean, I try to say the right things and give the right advice. But still, I’m only a person.

I want to direct, I want to be part of something creative, something with quality.

I’m just a kid - I’ve got a lot of stuff to do yet.

Every movie I make teaches me something. That’s why I keep making them.

Every story has its demands.

Sometimes if you want to see a change for the better, you have to take things into your own hands.

If you want a guarantee, buy a toaster.

I’ve had no problem harnessing anger.

I probably would have retired years ago if I hadn’t found interesting things to do.

As I get older, I tend to put more into family than I used to.

I’m a day-to-day-type person.

If I was not a dreamer, I would have achieved nothing.

I do believe in self-help.

You have to steal a lot. You have to have a criminal mentality to be a film director.

Respect your efforts, respect yourself.

I guess I’m living in the present more than in the past.

I’m not a regrets-type person.

Men must know their limitations.
