I've gone far in the movie business, but no matter how far I go, every time I pick up the phone to call Tom Hanks or Robin Williams, I wonder if they'll call me back. And you know what? Sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't.

The filmmakers who I'm pining to work for aren't ringing my phone off the hook.

I don't like going to the movies with people that talk a lot. They want to have a conversation or something.

When people want to see your film, you're over the moon because you've actually made real contact. That's something very special.

When you aren't doing too many films, people find other things to write about you.

I am astonished and surprised that someone could consider making a film about me without talking to me about it.

I'm shy by nature and don't like talking about myself, and would let my films do the talking.

There's a look people get in their eyes when you're talking to them and they're not seeing you, and you know it's because they have a movie running through their head.

You tend to get reluctant to talk about anything until the day before filming.

When you hear someone talking in a restaurant or overhear someone talking on the street, there are very different patterns of conversation than you would hear in a conventional movie.
