I went to the Glasgow Youth Theatre and they just let me in. But I was so shy that I was there for about six weeks without actually introducing myself.

It's easier for me to get three times the amount of money I really want.

I don't really enjoy filming.

I'd made these experimental films but I thought the major chore of a filmmaker was to relate to actors.

Son, brother, father, lover, friend. There is room in the heart for all the affections, as there is room in heaven for all the stars.

I married the man I love when the state of California said I could. We made a family through adoption, as New York State said we could. From the outside, our family - two dads, two sons via adoption - seems like an experiment, but what family isn't an experiment?

A man doesn't know what happiness is until he's married. By then, it's too late.

When there has been a problem in your marriage, you cannot forever go on thinking, 'I am the most terrible person in the world and he is the most wonderful person.' You cannot live in a marriage that is unequal, because after a while, you are just worn out.
