Chaff Quotes

(2007 - On his career) I`ve been able to work on movies that I like very much in the past few years, which I think have turned out how I had hoped that they would. And, I`m human, you know; that makes me feel good. I like it when people like what I do. I don`t like it when people are laughing at me for what I do, you know? I mean, I`d love to say I was completely impervious to anybody`s opinion, but that just ain`t the truth. Of course, it matters. At the same time, there`s also a danger when you start playing it too safe. After all, what am I paid to do? I`m paid to essentially make an ass out of myself, if needed. And occasionally, in doing that, you`re going to fall flat on your face. But, I have learned, through doing that numerous times in my life, that there`s also a ton of enjoyment to what other people see as humiliation. You can actually come to sort of thrive on that, because in a way, it kind of leads to a sort of fearlessness, if you genuinely don`t mind. If the point is that you tried, I think that really is the most important thing. And, like you said, I feel like I`ve been very fortunate in the last couple of years that I`ve gotten to do what I loved, which is actually the making of movies, and on top of that, if I`ve liked how the movies have turned out themselves, then that`s fantastic. But, to start getting too comfortable within that would be eventually to start churning out boring, boring chaff.
