People don't understand what happiness is, so they have an idea of what will make them happy, but it never does.

The idea that you're completing someone else in a marriage to me is death. That to me is a false start and most of us are usually taught that ... you've got to stand on your own. Then you can build something extraordinary.

People have a different idea of how movies are made than they really are.

I'm rarely in a situation where, if you have a good idea, it's not embraced. That's stupid. And I don't work with stupid people.
