A lot of people against capital punishment have that argument: If we get to know them and we understand, we can be more compassionate.
Every single day of making a movie is going to bring new problems.
High school, you don't want to go back and do it over again.
I did choose a field called acting. My parents are much more traditional in their view of a life passion, as it were.
I didn't need clothes. I was allowed the opportunity to act out moments you don't get the opportunity to experience in your own life, let alone as a character in a film. I didn't feel naked.
I do have people who I bounce things off, and they all discouraged me because of the excessive amount of nudity.
I got to work with Gene Hackman for six weeks, side by side, 12 hours a day.
I had that classic six months of, Oh my God, my life is completely different and I don't have to go to school anymore!
I keep every script from every film that I ever made because it's like a workbook of that time in my life.
I like working in any medium. Who's making it? How much do I like the story? Does it contribute something?
I love vampire movies. I think they are sexy.
I think if you listen to Manson for longer than a few minutes, he starts to go off into a tangent in which very few people can relate to.
I think that it would be terrifying to stand objectified in front of a group of people, thinking, Why am I standing here naked at this moment?
I was put on a surfboard by a cute boyfriend in high school.
I'm doing my work in an environment that's ultimately about dollars and cents.
I'm from Newport so yeah, I totally surf.
I'm more of like a recreational surfer, not a consist surfer. Some people get out every week or every day.
I'm most interested in working and learning from different people and telling good stories.
I've definitely been in movies where they've had so much money, and because there so much money, they're going to get it out there to recoup.
In a lot of formats, you can be really experimental and see what would happen.
It gives you a very solid feeling once you've swam out into the ocean. You step into another element. The surfing culture reflects tha.
It seemed too good to be true to make a movie, go to Hawaii and actually have someone pay me for sitting on the beach.
It's hard to make something collaboratively. That's the challenge. Sometimes you're successful.
Miramax can buy a small independent movie that isn't very good, but because it has great relationships with different theaters, it can get into a big theater.
Parents are your teachers until a certain point, and if they don't give you love, you'll go somewhere else to find it.
The big companies are like, It's so good but we don't know how to market it.
The story follows the whole family. But pretty much all the characters who are in jail have written a book about it, so you've got their perspective of it, however skewed they want you to see it.
The sun would come up over the ocean, and we'd be eating scrambled eggs before we shot some stuff. It was a vacation in the sense that it was the best working conditions.
There's an easygoing nature that comes with a perspective of things that aren't as important as we make them sometimes.
Tough love - I'm kind of weary of that. I don't think it's so effective.
We did have some wipeouts and earn some scars but for the most part, we got to make a really wacky, funny movie.
We had a script that was really solid and we knew how we were going to shoot and how the energy of it was going to go. So it gave us a lot of freedom to use the camera as a character.
We had two cameras, so they could turn it on and shoot as much as we wanted. You don't have to worry about wasting money on film. A lot more takes are possible.
We started out as far to the left as we could.
You definitely want to do the little films. They're always going to be harder, but you don't do them to make money. You do them so you can see what you can make with the research that you have.
You were up at 5 o'clock in the morning, and then you'd ride in a caravan, because we didn't have big movie trucks or trailers that is the hardware of a movie camp.
