America stands as a beacon of hope and the possibility of a better life - but it is also a nation where nearly 1 in 4 children live in poverty.
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
No period of my life has been one of such unmixed happiness as the four years which have been spent within college walls.
Humor is very interesting to me. My films are not comedies, but there's comedy in them from time to time, absurdities, just like in real life.

I grew up as a photo nut. Every Christmas I would get a new camera. It's a huge part of my life.
I've seen 48 Stanley Cups in my life. I was about six or seven when I started going to games with my dad.
I'm a father. It isn't just my life any more. I don't want my kid finding bottles in the house or seeing his father completely smashed.
I know not every mom is a secret KGB spy, but every mom has this whole other life. Every dad and every person has this whole other life.
The closest thing to hell on earth is prison. It's the worst experience I've ever had in my life. Besides death.
Life is hard. Then you die. Then they throw dirt in your face. Then the worms eat you. Be grateful it happens in that order.
Sickness, insanity and death were the angels that surrounded my cradle and they have followed me throughout my life.
