"I don't have fun acting. I don't enjoy acting. I think acting is very painful. There may be those joy boys and joy girls who claim that acting is the stuff of life, but I think most artists find that their art is very painful and very laborsome and very difficult under the best of circumstances, almost a killing kind of process. You can have fun during a picture but there's also a great deal of creative pain involved in something like this for me. There's not much happiness in the creative process." "Those with obsessions never learn. Those with a compulsion to make films are f***ed in the beginning, f***ed in the middle, and f***ked in the end. You can call it madness, you can call it being an artist, or you can call it ruining your life. But we have not learned one God damned thing." We need to laugh, we need to be scared, we need to hug our girl in the theater. It lightens the load of this crummy life.
