I was the only white kid in my neighborhood for most of my youth even in high school, so reverse racism was just as apparent as racism.

Every time you make a movie it's an adventure.

I was planning on going to Yale to theater school.

Any time you're a type, your career's over.

I love architecture, but I learned early on that architects just don't make a lot of money.

There was a commonality in a lot of the private school experiences that I had of children whose lives were not their own. They thought they were their own, but they were essentially gifted this life by their parents. So they were spending money; they were going on trips - I guess, in a way, it is their life, but they didn't earn it.

The first time I fought Mike Chandler, I was thinking about money way too much. I was thinking about the end of my contract. My focus was way off. I didn't believe in the people that were guiding me.

It troubles me that people speak about writing for money as ugly and distasteful.
