Most people in Hollywood are making about 10 percent of all the things they're considering; I am making 95 percent.

I guess I need a hobby. Currently my primary hobby is complaining.

Everyone I know who is having success in film right now is there because of persistence.

I loved movies. They inspired me more than anything growing up and wanted to do for others what those movies have done for me. I do a lot of other creative stuff but am not very good at it.

Our brains will destroy ourselves if we don't put it outward.

We don't work in the traditional TV format where we're like writing concurrently to shooting. Like, we really view it as a large feature film.

I went to film school at UT Austin. I learned a lot and that school's good for puking up all your bad movies early and quick. But ultimately, no one can teach you to be an artist.

The worst question really comes from the attitude of the asker and it usually comes in the form of "What was your inspiration for the film?"

An interview is only as good as both parties are willing to give to the interview and that includes the interviewer.

Filmmaking is a very complex form - ya know, acting, lighting, screenwriting, storytelling, music, editing - all these things have to come together.

Don’t fear the future or regret the past but celebrate the present.

Beauty, sweet love, is like the morning dew, Whose short refresh upon tender green, Cheers for a time, but till the sun doth show And straight is gone, as it had never been.

I learned a great deal about myself, and it forced me to be introspective in a way that I'm not typically, but "reporting" on my own life became emotionally exhausting.

I once said coaching a first-year team was a religious experience. You do a lot of praying - but most of the time the answer is NO.

Populists hate journalists, they hate teachers, they hate lawyers, but they tend to like rich people. There's something deeply consistent.

Perhaps no philosopher is more correct than the cynic. The happiness of the animal, that thorough cynic, is the living proof of cynicism.

My drum sticks are in the "Hall of Fame." I know that.

I will be brave, thought Despereaux. I will try to be brave like a knight in shining armour. I will be brave for the Princess Pea.

Cease Fire ! Inshallah!!! Baruch Hashem!! Praise the Lord! #ceasefireforever #peaceinthemiddleeast #livingforlove

My favorite food is macaroni and cheese that my grandma makes. My favorite drink has to be Vita Coco coconut water.
