I always felt that a marriage works best at a farm… where you’re together and everybody has clear-cut roles they have chores, ‘you take care of this’ and you know. But it’s hard.
We live in a funny time. If you don’t go corporate, you can’t compete. You’re relegated as irrelevant. People used to admire that.
I met a lot of famous people when I was about 24. And none of them seemed very appealing. And so I didn’t know why I would struggle to be that kind of person.
I think that as soon as you think of yourself as a famous person or anything like that, you’re objectifying yourself in some weird way.
I’d be lying if I said I had confidence in every choice I’ve made, that I have faith in every film I do on every shot.
I’ve had a lot of experience in independent film, and about how to choose. You’ve got to be very discerning about where you put your five bucks, and where you cut and what you don’t cut.

It was never in my dreams to make my personal life anybody else’s business.
In New York, you’ve got Donald Trump, Woody Allen, a crack addict and a regular Joe, and they’re all on the same subway car.
If my kids are doing well, then my life is going pretty well. And if my kids aren’t doing well, it doesn’t matter how the other elements of my life are. It’s kind of amazing to have a context like that. This is really wonderful.
