I am a mechanical techie. I can build things with my hands.

When things aren't working out for people, the end of the world seems like an easy way to wipe the slate clean.

But I always see myself as the filmmaker. I wonder if everybody else sees me more as an actor.

It's a relationship I went through that collapsed my entire view of the world in a very extreme way.

I'm just gonna make movies the best I can, do the festival thing or whatever can come. I plan on working with a lot of the same guys over and over again. I hope the majority of us can stick together.

I don’t have anger towards women. It’s the first script I wrote, I was really young. I got older. It’s told from an angry point-of-view. Young men are crazy strange emotional beings.

I'm from Wisconsin; well, that's where I went to school from, like, sixth grade till I graduated high school.

I hope I don't have to act in one of my own projects again.

I developed a group of friends around me that were all as crazy as I was about wanting to make films.

It was a hobby I got into a long time ago, hacking cameras. I was able to make my own using different lenses.

If the movies that I'm going to make anyway go mainstream, that would be the coolest thing ever. But I have set up a plan that I've been working on for a long time.

As long as you have at least one thing anchoring you, you can't get too lost.

I know, not everyone will like what I write, but writing is not about trying to please everybody.

A design remedy that prevents bugs is always preferable to a test method that discovers them.

It's funny... you can make fun of AIDS or Haiti, but if you make fun of some starlet in Hollywood's looks? That's like the one thing... the line you are not to cross.

To build a more healthy, peaceful and equitable world the classrooms of the world have to be full of girls as well as boys.

That's the magic of moviemaking. You clearly identify one scenario with the other, and it's a completely different experience.

I mistrust total competence. I've always felt life is a series of small disasters we try to get through.

I'm basically a movie actor now, and my big roles are mostly horror movies - unless I'm doing a guest star or something - and occasionally I try to get back into television.

I was not popular. I was the kid in school that was bullied.

Dylan doesn't have to make Blonde On Blonde every time.
