“I've got a statue of St. Francis in my front yard, and I'm not even a practicing…” — Michael Keaton

I don't want dogs that have had the personality trained out of them. It's a partnership. I want to connect.

My work is distinct and definitive and specific, and hopefully it is so that every single character is different, and they are - but there's probably an underlying element that's me.

I saw 'Wild,' and I thought, 'Wow, this is a lot of things, but one of the things is it's a therapist's dream and a climate-change denier's nightmare.'

I like people-people rather than movie people.
