I'm too old to adapt to somebody else's ways.

I wish everyone was a sci-fi geek because then there would be no violence in the world. There'd be no wars. There'd only be people e-mailing each other.

I give everyone the benefit of the doubt.

Cooking is great, love is grand, but soufflés fall and lovers come and go. But you can always depend on a book!

Occasionally if you do something extraordinary, the crew responds with spontaneous applause, but that's very rare.

I'm used to working alone. Frankly with some of the actors I've worked with, I've felt like I was working alone.

I'm more embarrassed about some of the films that I've been in than I am about Playboy. Playboy I'm actually quite proud of.

It takes courage to push things forward.

Snark from nerds is a leading indicator that I'm wasting their time and when I find it, I ask questions until I understand the inefficiency so I can change it or explain it.

Gossip is easy, politics is hard.

I only wish I could write with both hands, so as not to forget one thing while I am saying another.
