I lived in france during the '60s. i was there from the early '60s until 1970, so my view of the '60s is more global. it was a time of tremendous transition, not only for america but for the whole world.

Some of the things i love the most are when a writer or a visionary takes on sort of an iconic character and then spins it. like with frank miller, batman was this one thing for basically forty years, and then frank miller came along and said he can also be this other thing. and christopher nolan came along and said he can also be this other thing. the idea of taking iconic comic book characters or superhero characters or mythic characters and subverting the genre or coming up with a new idea is something that's really interesting to me.

I find it really frustrating when people go, "i want to be famous and glamorous like you." it's hard for me not to have a bad thought when someone says that to me, since if there's anything this business is not, is glamorous. it's only glamorous for maybe five minutes every now and then.

The modern challenge to motherhood is the eternal challenge--that of being a godly woman. the very phrase sounds strange in our ears. we never hear it now. we hear about every other type of women: beautiful women, smart women, sophisticated women, career women, talented women, divorced women. but so seldom to we hear of a godly woman--or of a godly man either, for that matter. i believe women come nearer to fulfilling their god-given function in the home than anywhere else.

A man is like a two-story house. the first floor is equipped with an entrance and a living room. on the second floor is every family member's room. they enjoy listening to music and reading books. on the first underground floor is the ruin of people's memories. the room filled with darkness is the second underground floor.

I work in the '60s more than i've done anything else. i did a movie, called down with love, in the '60s. i did a movie for hbo, about the johnson administration in the '60s.

When charity requires it we must freely and mildly communicate to our neighbor not only what is his instruction, but also what is profitable for his consolation.

I was out at the hbo party, these are liberals, i imagine, and a lot of people came up to me and said, "keep giving it to the president."

A huge part of the american trans population that's often overlooked are trans teenagers. many of them are homeless, and those are not the people who are necessarily going in for a custom suit. but that's one of the reasons why we were excited that we got to do a contest with hbo to sponsor a young person getting a suit made who might not have the means to do it on their own.

I was a big fan of rodney dangerfield. he had this hbo young comedians special and he'd always bring up new talent, and i loved that!
