When I was younger I was obsessed with 'Star 80,' and it's just a great movie - I think I saw it three times in the theater.

Directors tend to be more underrated than overrated because it's a quiet job and people don't really understand it.

I think any filmmaker looks back and thinks, 'Boy, if we only had four hours more on that day when the sun was going down,' or, 'If we only spent more time and went back.'

It's heartbreaking when you hear a kid buying a ticket for... I don't know, whatever movie you're up against. And you see them sneaking into your film. It's just heartbreaking. But in the spirit of full disclosure, that is what I did as an 11-year-old sneaking into 'Stripes.'

I love being on the beach - it's my favourite place. I can chill out, read, listen to music, play with my daughter.

I don't think you should put all your money in one place. It must be invested in different investments.

I was told by my grandfather who was a minister that we all were put here on earth to be of service to one another, and it is quite gratifying to know that if I am able to be of help to one that is not able to help themselves then I am fulfilling my obligation as a human being.

I am human like everyone else. I am aware that there are people who look up to me. When mistakes are made, they aren't intentional, and I constantly push myself to be a better person.
