'Sunshine' is really an experiment for me to see if I am a filmmaker beyond having my own stories to tell.

You would be surprised of films that people just don't see. You know what I mean? I'm always working and I'm a film buff but I'm an old school film buff.

If I never do another movie, I will have had the privilege of working on one of the big Hollywood movies with top people, creating a world that can only be described as totally cinematic.

When I see 'Sunshine,' I see a film that part of me is kind of very proud of and another part of me is very sad about, so it's a really complicated film for me. And I've never been really able to resolve all that in myself.

Nobody would want to leave that film to go get high.

I'd love to do like a modern day 'Shining' and play the Jack Nicholson role.

I never had a better role than I had in 'Little Miss Sunshine.' That was one of my favorite roles ever.

You put a movie star or a bunch of movie stars in a movie, it doesn't mean people are gonna go see it. It's been proven time and time again.

I've been so good in so many movies that nobody saw.

If you think about my filmography, I have never done a movie that a kid could go see, except for 'Iron Giant,' and I'm not even on the screen.
