One of my favorite cartoon characters is Snoopy. I love the way he sits and lies on his kennel and contemplates the great things of life Picture Quote #1

I don’t really mess with Instagram much, but I get why people love it. Because to me, it’s better to tell a story through a picture than 140 characters Picture Quote #1

I’ve really enjoyed the independent film world. I’ve had a blast. But, the reality is that I really want to make bigger movies. If I could make movies that carry great characters and great performances and great pathos, and can have an explosion or two, that would be fine with me Picture Quote #1

That’s always a good release Picture Quote #1

That’s the illusion Picture Quote #1
