- Authored a concert DVD (Midnight at the Troubadour) for one of his favorite bands, Trash Can Sinatras and received a personal thank you from frontman Francis Reader.

- I work as if I could be replaced in 5 minutes. [Referring to his work ethic]
- I have a simple theory about working with artists: if I wanted to be extremely specific with the artwork then I should just do it myself. The whole idea of working with other creative people is to get other creative ideas.
- I like to give creative license to the actors. If I've written the characters and stories correctly, then I've already pre-directed them; I can only hope that they see what I see. And I give them the opportunity to show me before I say anything. The first takes are their versions. If something's off then I just guide them to another version that's closer to what I think is better. The beauty of filmmaking is the collaboration between creative people. I trust their ideas and they trust my guidance.
