If you want to write about a person who isn't nice, people say, "This is a bad book. It's about somebody I couldn't stand. " But that's not the point. You don't have to like a character to like a book. Most of the time, people would misjudge and say, "I didn't like the book. " No, you didn't like the character. That doesn't make it any less interesting of a book. In fact, to me, it makes it more interesting.

I was on Facebook. I was on MySpace. And somebody said to me, You should check out this thing called Twitter.

I don't put pictures of my children on, rarely, I think I've done it twice? I'm thoughtful about that, because I don't think you can get it back, and I don't think it's fair to people to try to convey a desire to maintain some privacy and then share pictures and expect that somebody else won't want the same ability.
I am much more likely to care about someone trying to be funny and give them some credit for whatever he or she did that was remotely funny than I am to be mused by somebody declaring this isn't funny, that isn't funny, this sucks. If you want to write humor, you're going to have to get used to that.
I'm not trying to push my political agenda on anybody. I'll do that like any other citizen by giving money to a party or candidate I believe in. I don't mind going out and endorsing somebody I believe in. But when we're talking about my films, I don't think my politics should have anything to do with it.
I hope that I'm the kind of person who would step in between somebody holding a gun at somebody else. I would like to be that stupid. I'd like to be that in love with life.
It's a waste of energy to think about what somebody else is doing and how they doing it. I'ma just do what I do.
