Movies are like an expensive form of therapy for me.

I have a problem when people say something’s real or not real, or normal or abnormal. The meaning of those words for me is very personal and subjective. I’ve always been confused and never had a clearcut understanding of the meaning of those kinds of words.

Jack Nicholson is a textbook actor who’s very intuitive. He is absolutely brilliant at going as far as you can go, always pushing to the edge, but still making it seem real.

I am not a dark person and I don’t consider myself dark.

People told me I couldn’t kill Nicholson, so I cast him in two roles and killed him off twice.

One person’s crazyness is another person’s reality.

If I had a choice about going to a meeting at a studio or changing a nappy, I’d choose the nappy.

I don’t know what it was, maybe the movie theaters in my immediate surrounding neighbourhood in Burbank, but I never saw what would be considered A movies.
