I've never really been a television watcher, so I never watch comedies.

No one wants to say, 'That's not funny,' when you're working.

I've never really been a television watcher and watched comedies, and I have gotten a number of invitations to be on television as the dad.

I want to be scary, boring, philosophical, funny, touching.

Truthfully, I almost avoided 'While You Were Sleeping,' because I find those romantic comedies kind of precious, and they're full of lines that leave you feeling a little bewildered when you say them.

With While You Were Sleeping, it was so much fun and such a Cinderella story, that I didn't want to do another romantic comedy. I wanted to do the opposite.

I've always been a fan of George C. Scott, who was working in movies when I was in college... films like 'Patton' and 'Hospital.' I was really impressed by him, and I had seen him onstage as well in 'Uncle Vanya.' He was a champ to me.

I hate to admit it, because it makes me sound weird, but I'm Mr. Shoes. I own over 30 pairs.

Well, I can do certain jobs because smells don't bother me. But that means I'm usually the one at the ranch cleaning up all the manure.

I think you do independent movies because you're looking to cut away from commercial movies.

I have always been impressed by the fruit community. There is a Tao of fruit, which is generous. You share what you know, and you give what you can.

Rural towns aren't always idyllic. It's easy to feel trapped and be aware of social hypocrisy.
