My dad was this sort of avant-garde guy who did all kinds of weird things. He was a true original and anybody who met him never forgot him.

I'm not really a Sundance baby, but they helped me so much I feel I have to acknowledge it.

I didn't have any desire I might have had 10 years ago to shoot every single word that I wrote.

Well I'd really love to work with Robert De Niro, because he's still the most talented actor out there.

I don't think it's a director's job to peek behind the curtain too much.
