A lot of 18-year-olds are like old men. They think they've seen everything.

The nice thing about age is worrying less and less about what people think.

I think alcohol is a good drug for me when I'm writing. I don't think I've ever had a problem with it. I can stop for a few weeks, so I think it's okay. I don't think it's good for my liver, but I do love it. It's a huge part of my life, and it makes me happy.

I think a lot of good directors listen to music while they're working. The songs just don't become a part of the film. They're replaced.

When someone really goes to tell you something about what they're thinking, they're going to wear that experience with them. That's what you have to share.

I do think that when you make repeated mistakes, it's usually because you're just not coming to grips with something.
