Everything we do really is just a little marker on the long road to death. And sometimes that’s overwhelmingly depressing to me, and sometimes it makes me feel kinship and forgiveness. We’ve all got the same ending to the story. The way we make that story more elaborate, I got to respect.

‘The Dark Knight,’ for me, has the same problem that every other ‘Batman’ movie has. It’s not about Batman.

No. The big moments are gonna come. You can’t help that. It’s what you do afterwards that counts. That’s when you find out who you are.
If you’re going to make a science fiction movie, then have a hover craft chase, for God’s sake.
There’s a fine line between support and stalking and let’s all stay on the right side of that.
Write it. Shoot it. Publish it. Crochet it, sauté it, whatever. MAKE.
