I think that all the anger and cynicism comes from suppressing things that we always wanted.

A good deed is a good deed.

You set out to tell a good story. You don't do it because there is a deep message involved because the movie is almost always bad when you do that.

Somebody might say that they always wanted to be a fly-fishing guide in Montana and maybe they'll never get to do that but just by the virtue of having said it out loud, I think there's some power in that.

Someone is going to win and someone is going to lose. That's also what happens in almost every movie - someone is going to win and someone is going to lose.
