When man decides he can control nature, he's in deep trouble.

There's always a side of a woman that likes a man from the other side of the tracks.

I'm lucky enough that directors sometimes seek me out for little projects that people don't even know about, that just surface later on.

I've always loved film more than theater.

It would be great to make a movie that had the style of a great '30's film.

I wanted to go to Jupiter. That was my plan from day one, and David Lynch gave me the ticket.

The really courageous and bold thing is to make movies about human behaviour.
