- Always mystify, torture, mislead, and surprise the audience as much as possible.
- When watching my own work on the screen, particularly among a group of strangers, I get a pain in the pit of my stomach: it's due to allowing people you don't know -- intruders -- into your own 'house' and letting them track mud on the carpet.
- The recipe for great art has always been misery and a good bowel movement.
- [When asked about writing for films] "Some people become gym teachers, others horse stable shovelers, and still others, screenwriters."
- Forget box office results, when you've made a movie that Starbucks employees are constantly quoting behind the counter -- then you've made a hit!
