I respect everybody. You don't have to earn my respect. You earn my disrespect.

I don't hang out with soft cats.

If you can't laugh at yourself, you don't deserve to laugh at anybody else.

I think you can leave the arts, superior or inferior, to the conscience of mankind.

When I make art, I think about its ability to connect with others, to bring them into the process.

I think in art, but especially in films, people are trying to confirm their own existences.
