The DVD does make it a little easier for myself to trim things that are otherwise very difficult to let loose of - knowing that they'll make it on the DVD.

My guilty fear is that what I'm doing, probably anyone could do. And that I just got a lot of lucky breaks.

My grandparents lived in Hollywood, and I was surrounded by the romanticism of movies ever since I was a child.

I would like to make a film in the four South Indian languages.

I hate rats. I had a pet rat to try and overcome it. I even gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation when he had a heart attack. But I couldn't conquer it.

I am lucky to be a film director. I can create, express. It proves that I am still alive and the Khmer Rouge did not succeed in destroying me.

I remember, after 'Tumbleweeds,' my friend and I wrote 'Pride and Glory.' I was just about to get it going. I had some really great actors attached, and New Line was going to make the movie, and 9/11...

I have never, ever talked about my orientation or sexuality because whether I am heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, asexual, it is my concern. I refuse to talk about it... I have not been brought up...

We need a peaceful, modern Cambodia. We need to achieve that. It's not easy.

I have an inability to enjoy things, but that's why we're in comedy. If we were happy, we wouldn't be funny, I guess.

Jim Gaffigan is someone I've always been a fan of.

I don't know if Prince even really paid attention to time. The moment of creativity is the moment, and you go at that moment.

A film is made in somebody's head - out of their determination to do it at all.

Sydney is rather like an arrogant lover. When it rains it can deny you its love and you can find it hard to relate to. It's not a place that's built to be rainy or cold. But when the sun comes out, it...

When we belong to a community and learn things that are no way related to our society, we live as unwanted entities in that society.

To see Sridevi making tea in Boney Kapoor's kitchen was a huge letdown. I won't forgive him because he brought the angel down from heaven to the kitchen of his apartment.

I am not trained to be a director or an actor. I have learnt everything by watching other people work and studying their work.

It must have been fascinating for Bono to have Johnny Cash do a cover of his song, and hear how he translates the words that he has used. And it would be fascinating to see a great director do his...

My dad used to draw these great cartoon figures. His dream was being a cartoonist, but he never achieved it, and it kind of broke my heart. I think part of my interest in art had to do with his...

I think that when you're queer, you grow up with these kinds of men who might have made you feel small because of who you are. They could be part of your family, or somebody on the street, or a...

Why does man kill? He kills for food. And not only food: frequently there must be a beverage.
