"If it's not American, the French won't go see it."

-- Norman Spinrad

“Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing.”
“I don't even like parties.”
“Why do people want everyone to act just like they do? Talk like they do. Look like they do. Act like they do. And if you don'tâ€” If you don't, people make the assumption that you do not FEEL what they feel. And then they make the assumptionâ€” That you must not feel anything at all.”
“Being crazy about someone isn't nice or passionate or deeply moving; it is, surprisingly enough, crazy.”
“Well begun is not only half done, but often fully cooked.”
“Being in charge of your work life doesn't mean you always move with assurance and sublime self-confidence; it means you keep moving, continuing on your own path, even when you feel shaky and uncertain.”

“Sometimes I'm considered, I guess, a subtle actor. Maybe I'm less of a showman and more just trying to tell the story. I don't know what the perception is. I just want to tell the story so the story as a whole works as opposed to just making sure that I work.”
“Voice is my instrument.”
