Quotes

There are two roads you can take in life. One of those roads is headed,in the right direction and one is headed in the wrong direction. You,have to choose which road to take.

I never did understand why when they make movies in New Orleans and the,surrounding areas, they give the characters these major southern,accents. People from the New Orleans area do not have southern accents.

First, I just wanted to be an actor. Then I decided to write a,screenplay - next thing I knew, I wrote several. Then I worked on the,crew of a movie and got interested in directing and producing. So, what,do I want to be now? All of it!.
