“What’s valuable to me has become clearer as I’ve got older. To me, it’s about the value of your time and your day and the value of the people you spend it with.”

Once you hit 40, you start reexamining the math of it all. I’ll trade wisdom for youth any day.

I think happiness is overrated. Satisfied, at peace-those would be more realistic goals.

I don’t want to die without scars.

So much of making movies is about discovery on the day, what you’re figuring out. If you know everything going in, then it’s not worth doing – it’s already done. I’m interested in finding people who I think have a voice – and a very specific voice.

Most of the time is with the family. Most of the time, is all the time. When we work it’s a very intensive chunk of time. We work for 12 hours a day, 14 hours a day is common. And we’ll do that for a few months and then we get to relax a little bit.

There’s no right. There’s no wrong. There’s only popular opinion.

The best moments can’t be preconceived. I’ve spent a lot of time in editing rooms, and a scene can be technically perfect, with perfect delivery and facial expression and timing, and you remember all your lines, and it is dead.

No man will be a sailor who has contrivance enough to get himself into a jail; for being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned. A man in a jail has more room, better food, and commonly better company.

It’s no company at all, when people know nothing and say nothing,’ she muttered.

One must accept the fact that we have only one companion in this world, a companion who accompanies us from the cradle to the grave – our own self. Get on good terms with that companion – learn to live with yourself.
