I think I'll try to keep working in film for a little bit. There's something still kind of magical about it, that I don't want to let go of.

Rather than look at a marriage as two people morphing into one thing, you could see two individuals who are choosing to form a partnership.

There's something really nice about missing the person you're with. To have someone be apart enough to force independence and to also look forward to seeing that person.

My directing is really weird. Everything is based on whether it's working or not. I don't try to fix something if it's not working, I'll just change it.

In the 10 years that I've been a professional filmmaker, the film part of the film industry is really disappearing, right in front of our eyes.

Most of my horror inspiration is really older stuff and really new stuff.

The more that I work with people that I don't know, the more I invite somebody in who's potentially going to really hate being there.

I guess I probably see myself as a director. If I had to choose, I think that that's the aspect of the process that I'm most excited by.

I'm usually two projects ahead. It's hard for me because I don't have a really long attention span.

My relationship with my wife is fraught with all of the problems that any couples face, but there is a sense of humor that we have about it and a real desire to want to make it better.

If you're a working mom, you're still expected to be a super-mom at home, buy organic food, put dinner on the table every night, and do all the research into preschools. It's really hard.

All of life is a trust fall, and I'm awakening to the thrill, rather than the fear, of being suspended midair.

What haunts me most about her eyes is the pain I put in them... In the corner of my dark soul Her passion is dark like a kohl She is giving new meaning to these feelings She is complete she is whole.

It is one of the poignant anxieties of the thinker that he sees the shadow resting on the human soul, and that he gropes in darkness without being able to awaken that slumbering Progress.

For the most part things never get built the way they were drawn.

Thanks to my mother, not a single cardboard box has found its way back into society. We receive gifts in boxes from stores that went out of business twenty years ago.

On the music side, I'm a cross between maybe that Texas songwriter and that Tom Petty feel.

I didn't think he was a robot...but I did wonder if his emotions had been designed out of him. Of course, with a guy, how could I tell? Ha ha!

Something's lost, but something's gained, in living everyday.

The House looks like more fun. It's like the Donahue show. The Senate is like one of those Sunday morning public service programs.

I was a teenage godmother.
