I kind of touched them all, you know, just trying to figure out the meaning of life or if nothing else, figure myself out.”

“I don't really distinguish between a fictional hero and a real life hero as a basis for any comparison. To me, a hero is a hero.

That's the kind of character arc I love dabbling in as a director, as a filmmaker.”

“I'm old-fashioned. I think William Blake and people in the Renaissance people were multi. Look at da Vinci, he was involved in science; and Michelangelo was dabbling in poetry.

If you sang rock and roll in America at that time or were involved in expressing yourself through music like that, then many thought you couldn't possibly be an artist. That thinking is archaic.”
