"Becoming emancipated at 14, my life wasn't normal. I didn't have to go to school, so I didn't. I was rebellious by nature. I spent my 20s focusing on my company, Flower Films, and producing movies. Now that I'm almost 30, I would like to try other things in lie. I'm crazy about photography, and I want to take an art history class."

"Producing is so exciting because you can enable things to happen, whether it's like discovering a filmmaker who you're taking a chance on, protecting a battle and driving home at the end of the day just going, 'I'm so glad I stayed late at work and fought hard for that. Had my passion. Won that battle.'"

"I'm a total control freak and love to participate in the design of every single aspect of life."

"Whether you're throwing up or breaking up, you want your girlfriend right there! I don't trust women who don't go to their girlfriends."

"It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known."

"It is a subtle truth that we do not remember the passing of hours, but the resonance of moments."

"The simplest truths often reveal that every step forward is a victory over stagnation."

"I do not know myself, and God forbid that I should."
