“I’m me, I live from film to mouth.”

You know, sometimes I feel like I walk around with a target on my back with the films I make.

Everything’s a film idea if this is what you do.I’ve always been secretly confident that I’d never run out of ideas,because I’ve never had any.

Well, visual language is another boring discussion about the nature of film.

You learn real early to make a film and then duck, and basically that’s how I go about it.

You know, our sense of individuality is just the number one target of civilization.

Anyway, I just haven’t been able to find any humanity in any Republican candidate ever in my entire life.

Swimming can be boring. To me, it’s like going on a treadmill.

The greatest thing for me is when someone comes up and says, ‘My son started playing golf because of you,’ or, ‘I started playing golf because of you,’ and all that.

Mr. Bennett, for just giving me this opportunity. I thank you for always being there for me when I need you.

If you elect me president, we will have a president that believes America is the greatest country in the world and we will have a president that acts like it.

My mother, Southern to the bone, once told me, “All Southern literature can be summed up in these words: ‘On the night the hogs ate Willie, Mama died when she heard what Daddy did to Sister.’” She raised me up to be a Southern writer, but it wasn’t easy.

Here’s what I love: when a great writer turns me into a Jew from Chicago, a lesbian out of South Carolina, or a black woman moving into a subway entrance in Harlem. Turn me into something else, writers of the world. Make me Muslim, heretic, hermaphrodite.
