When I asked my mother where babies came from, she thought I said rabies. She said you get them from being bitten by a dog. The next week, a woman on my block gave birth to triplets... I thought she'd been bitten by a Great Dane.

I consider myself a completely lucky filmmaker. I've had nothing but good luck. Everything I've needed has come my way.
