I'm about to go to Sundance for my 3rd year, and Sundance has never felt like a real independent festival at all. On the other hand, it might to start feel that way.

The alternative scene, for a couple years now, has been taken seriously and that's a cool thing. I don't think it's exploded or anything, but I think it's pretty cool that it still exists, it's still affecting people.

I can't really say how big the cult is. But I'm proud of it. I'm proud that it has a life.

It is so weird to be on this side of that, because when you're starting out, and it seems like you're starting out for so long, you look up to the people who have made their mark. And you sort of want to be that.

It's nice that the independent scene is taken seriously, and has been.

I pretty much live about 10 minutes from my office. I have two kids, and I have about 8 projects that I'm working on, so I basically just get up and go to work, and go home every night and play with my kids, so I don't really know.

I think that cable TV is a great venue to do something interesting.

David and I got cut out the editing process on that. We were able to affect it more than not. We sent in our notes, we were able to see cuts. We weren't allowed to see dailies and we weren't allowed to sit in the editing room and just work.

When I go to M Bar there's all kinds of agents there, looking for people who doing good stuff.

I actually think there's a potential, a crazy potential, that network TV could become something valuable and worthwhile, just because of fear on the part of the networks.

I think independent movies are actually very challenging right now, because it was this huge scene and it was great for a few years. Then, it was totally co-opted by the studios. Now, it's become very corporate, the independent scene.

My daughter got me a Worlds Best Dad mug. So we know shes sarcastic.

Old radio comedy makes me laugh, as well as 'I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue' and comedians like Paul Merton.

Dusk is just an illusion because the sun is either above the horizon or below it.

I just always wanted to sit in a casting session and see all of the train wrecks that come in.

He who laughs most, learns best.

For me, the brand of the camera is not the most important thing. I think you can take good pictures with the camera on your phone.

At Girl Scouts, we are committed to raising awareness about the terrible effects of cyber bullying, and to teaching girls how to recognize the signs of bullying of any sort and extricate themselves or another from a bad situation before it spirals out of control and ends in tragedy.

When you do music, your friends are writers, actors, painters. It's all under the same roof. So anything creative is interesting to me.

If the height of the heel is the same as the length of your foot, it starts to look wrong. And if the heel is positioned badly on the sole, you get into ballerina territory, where the body is pushed into a very strange posture. You can exaggerate the arch only so much.

I used to believe there were people on Mars, and of course now we know there aren't. Mars held particular interest. I was curious what kind of beings they would look like.

I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.

I want to work on interesting parts that I can believe in.

Boys dont make passes at female smart asses.

After all, it is not where one washes one's neck that counts but where one moistens one's throat.

I don't have a day job, so I read any time of day.

I flailed my arm in a throwing motion before I could even walk.

I meet human beings who are flawed, who are mentally ill and have enormous problems, but I don't think I've ever met someone who was a totally dark energy that had no humanity or sense of love or affection for anything in their life. That's very rare.

I'm a chameleon, so changeable. I see myself as a gadfly and a questioner.

When you get mad, it's the time you lose.

Nevada has a world-class economy. It will only build a world-class culture with world-class research universities coupled with the Desert Research Institute.

The wheel is come full circle.

I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don't know the answer.

I always like balance. If I'm playing rock music all the time, chances are I'll start craving some lighter, poppier stuff, both to listen to and to play. I compare music to massage. If someone's been working on your back for a long time, you really want them to move down to your legs or something.

It is hard to tell your mother to change her life.

The De Bernieres were very military. I broke the military tradition but I was terribly proud of my father being a soldier.
