There is no middle ground in Hollywood; you're a failure or you're a success. That mentality is wild.

I do respect people's faith, but I don't respect their manipulation of that faith in order to create fear and control.

I think we are living in selfish times. I'm the first one to say that I'm the most selfish. We live in the so-called 'first world,' and we may be first in a lot of things like technology, but we are behind in empathy.

I don't really care where movies come from as long as they're worth making.

I was raised not to be afraid to show emotion or imagination.
