Being a father is the greatest achievement and the most important thing about me. I have two great kids, no question.

I have three sisters and I've always wanted a brother, so I was really interested in that notion.

Tarantino's stuff in its inception was all about finding a way for him to break into Hollywood.

My first film goes into production in October. It's called White Boy Shuffle and it's based on a novel about a young black kid and it's sort of reminiscent of Catcher in the Rye.

The ultimate 20-year plan is to be living in the Caribbean, writing, living off the land, eating from the ocean and probably smoking herb.

Where you raise your children isn't as important as how you raise your children.

The idea of doing something that you've seen a thousand times before doesn't appeal to me.

It's nice that people want to compliment you in some superficial way, but I've never considered that that's how I might be categorized. I guess it's better than being called ugly.

My sisters are my favorite people on earth.

A film goes through so many hands, that by the time it's done, it might not resemble what you thought you were making.

Granted, there are times when, for business reasons, you do something that's more mainstream. But even then, I try to find something that has a dark or subversive aspect.

The most liberating moment, is the moment you finally let go.

True happiness ... arises in the first place from the enjoyment of one's self and in the next from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions.

No political movement can avoid the reality of desire in its midst. Every office building is full of the illicit affairs, the unwanted pregnancies, the crises that happen in human lives.

Everybody is connected to everybody else, all data that can be shared will be shared: get used to it.

Margaret the Churchwoman, her father the Dissenter, Higgins the Infidel, knelt down together. It did them no harm.

We are in effect enculturating kids from the very beginning to see women and girls as not taking up half of the space.

I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought.

How can you get tired of playing golf?
