Personal Quote:

(In response to negative reviews on The Center of the World (2001)): "I'm upset and depressed but feisty...it's almost like sex is something that nobody wants to deal with in an explicit way. I haven't seen anything other than Philip Kaufman who's out there exploring new territory. Nobody is doing it. At the same time pornography is going wild. Yet serious movies are not dealing with it."

Trivia:

Was named after his father's favorite actor, John Wayne. See more »
