• The best films of any kind, narrative or documentary, provoke questions.
• Just because you've made a couple movies, you've done some good movies, you've been nominated for some Academy Awards, whatever, nobody's entitled. It's a business. If they don't see it, I can think they're wrong, but I'm not entitled to a $15 million budget to make a film.
• If you've got a piece and you can feel the person who's going to direct it is really made for it, if it's really special for them, then it's going to be a better-than-usual experience.

• A lot of why I do something is just the novelty of the experience.
• I have this embedded faith in the process through which films of a certain type get discovered on longer timelines.
• Anybody who is running a marathon or doing a walkathon, doing a fundraiser for their school, their company, by far it's guaranteed the easiest and most fun way to quickly set up a fundraising campaign and send it around to your friends and family.
• It's dismaying to see the unilateralism that the government is doing.
• I almost forgot what it's like to be proud of my government.
