I'm most interested in working and learning from different people and telling good stories.

The big companies are like, It's so good but we don't know how to market it.

You were up at 5 o'clock in the morning, and then you'd ride in a caravan, because we didn't have big movie trucks or trailers that is the hardware of a movie camp.

There's an easygoing nature that comes with a perspective of things that aren't as important as we make them sometimes.

I keep every script from every film that I ever made because it's like a workbook of that time in my life.

Parents are your teachers until a certain point, and if they don't give you love, you'll go somewhere else to find it.

Tough love - I'm kind of weary of that. I don't think it's so effective.

You definitely want to do the little films. They're always going to be harder, but you don't do them to make money. You do them so you can see what you can make with the research that you have.

I'm doing my work in an environment that's ultimately about dollars and cents.

Miramax can buy a small independent movie that isn't very good, but because it has great relationships with different theaters, it can get into a big theater.

The story follows the whole family. But pretty much all the characters who are in jail have written a book about it, so you've got their perspective of it, however skewed they want you to see it.

I'm more of like a recreational surfer, not a consist surfer. Some people get out every week or every day.

The sun would come up over the ocean, and we'd be eating scrambled eggs before we shot some stuff. It was a vacation in the sense that it was the best working conditions.

High school, you don't want to go back and do it over again.

Every single day of making a movie is going to bring new problems.

We started out as far to the left as we could.

I didn't need clothes. I was allowed the opportunity to act out moments you don't get the opportunity to experience in your own life, let alone as a character in a film. I didn't feel naked.

In a lot of formats, you can be really experimental and see what would happen.

We had two cameras, so they could turn it on and shoot as much as we wanted. You don't have to worry about wasting money on film. A lot more takes are possible.

I'm most interested in working and learning from different people and telling good stories.

We had a script that was really solid and we knew how we were going to shoot and how the energy of it was going to go. So it gave us a lot of freedom to use the camera as a character.

I love vampire movies. I think they are sexy.

I like working in any medium. Who's making it? How much do I like the story? Does it contribute something?

I was put on a surfboard by a cute boyfriend in high school.

It's hard to make something collaboratively. That's the challenge. Sometimes you're successful.

I got to work with Gene Hackman for six weeks, side by side, 12 hours a day.

High school you dont want to go back and do it over again.

We're all like children. We may think we grow up, but to me, being grown up is death, stopping thinking, trying to find out things, going on learning.

Let schoolmasters puzzle their brain, With grammar, and nonsense, and learning, Good liquor, I stoutly maintain, Gives genius a better discerning.

Without feeling abashed by my ignorance, I confess that I am absolutely unable to say. In the absence of an appearance of learning, my answer has at least one merit, that of perfect sincerity.

Learning teacheth more in one year than experience in twenty.

And I believe that the best learning process of any kind of craft is just to look at the work of others.

Concerning culture as a process, one would say that it means learning a great many things and then forgetting them; and the forgetting is as necessary as the learning.

And I like asking questions, to keep learning; people with big egos might not want to look unsure.

The lopsided attitudes of college professors pose a serious challenge to learning because students are so susceptible to becoming lopsided sheep.

I've never stopped learning.

I know what I like when I see it, but no way have I ever become interested in learning about it.

Not being a comic book fan, being thrown into that and seeing the extreme - it's taken very seriously. So I tried to do as much learning as I could about it so I wasn't mean or anything.

I spent a lot of years just learning my craft and falling down in front of the camera.

I'm learning English at the moment. I can say 'Big Ben', 'Hello Rodney', 'Tower Bridge' and 'Loo'.

Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spirituality. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins.

I love talking about women because they are a constant study and you're always learning.

The experience of learning how to get straight to the core of a problem proved to be of immense value later when I had a long succession of responsibilities in large, complex government departments.

I think that obstacles lead to growth and ultimately, the most learning I've done in my life is between jobs.

I view life as a learning experience. It is not so much all about music; it is about what happens when you are doing the music.

I like doing accents and I like learning as much as I can learn.

In any of the arts, you never stop learning.

I have never forgotten my days as an Eagle Scout. I didn't know it at the time, but what really came out of my Scouting was learning how to lead and serve the community. It has come in handy in my career in government.

You have to study your field and you have to find out how other people do it, and you have to keep working and learning and practicing and ultimately, you would be able to do it.
