I'm taking time to figure out where I want to go and what I want to do next. In this line of work, you become so defined by your job.
Across the board, from my mother to my father to my aunts and uncles, everybody has always given me a lot of love.
I do not go on my Wikipedia page. There's just too much weird information on there for me to pick apart.
I don't know anyone who is a writer who isn't influenced by the relationships in their life.
I don't know anything about music theory at all. Zero. But I don't really need to.
I don't really hang out with a lot of celebrities.
I don't really know that there's any real rules for songwriting.
I don't say things like "the grace of God. " All that's white noise to me, not because I'm an intellectual. For many people, it's gibberish. Likewise, the idea that the Koran was dictated by an archaic illiterate is a fantasy.
I think film is about images. Cinema needs good images. I think that if you don’t have good images, it’s not going to be a good film. I think all films should be really visual.
I have this mistress: show business. I get a lot of love and adulation from outside, and [my wife] lets me have that, while she does all the real-life stuff that counts making sure the kids are going to school and all that. I married a saint well, a saint who curses.
Energy and patience in business are two indispensable elements of success.
