When I see these guys write all this macho stuff I want to smash their heads.

If a film doesn't play, people aren't going to be that nice.

The romance stuff is easy. A sex scene... that's hard, because you don't know what to do. Those scenes are awkward.

Games sometimes can reveal things. To watch someone in movement, unconscious movement, can be very stimulating and revealing, whether they win or not.

It's great to watch someone get the most out of what they can do, whether they're a beautiful performer or just a really gritty performer. It's something to behold.

When the day's work is over, it's over.

Levi is one of the best authors I've ever read. It's hard not to have an immediate personal response to his work. He has such a quiet tone.

The past has to inform the present.

When you sit down and watch something alone, you're going to watch it for what it is.

I've done nudity. I'm an exhibitionist. It doesn't matter.
