I don't think of myself predicting things. I'm expressing possibilities. Things that could happen. To a large extent it's a question of how badly people want them to.

Sometimes I write stuff that strangely predicts what's going to happen in my life.

You can predict all you want, but everybody knows what predictions get you.

I like predictability because I know what I'm getting into.

I am incredibly bad at predicting the future; I am only smart enough to observe the present and listen to my intuition about tendencies.

I typically don't get into predicting the success of my projects. I've been involved with a lot of projects that I thought should have really gained notoriety and furthered my career, only to be met with the cold grasp of disappointment. So I typically stay away from predicting how a film will do.

Prediction is not just one of the things your brain does. It is the primary function of the neo-cortex, and the foundation of intelligence.

I tell it like it is. I tell it like I see it. I tell it like I envision it. I tell it like I live it.
