I’ve been joking that if Madonna taught us anything, you’ve got to reinvent yourself. I think it’s important as a filmmaker, as any person working in the arts, that you’ve got to try new stuff and challenge yourself and take chances.

Actors Thinking Years
The ’90s were a party, I mean definitely maybe not for the grunge movement, but people were partying harder in the ’90s than they were in the ’80s. The ’90s was Ecstasy, the ’80s was yuppies.

I’ve spent a life loving women and studying them as much as I can, or am allowed to.

Loving Study Woman
I’ve tried to take a chance with every film I’ve done – I’ve never done it the easy way, and I think that’s because that’s what excites me, is making as big a mountain as I can in front of me, and just trying to mount it.
