I just find my creativity manifesting a bunch of different ways.

35 million people in the U.S. are hungry or don't know where their next meal is coming from, and 13 million of them are children. If another country were doing this to our children, we'd be at war.

Live like you're already dead, man. Have a good time. Do your best. Let it all come ripping right through you.

I didn't have the patience for the research, or anything like that. I just like how it sets the imagination off. It's just an area that's very fertile for great words. Great metaphors, potentially.

Movies were never an art form, they were entertainment. It just evolved into an art form from there, and it's still evolving in different ways.

Speech is a rolling press that always amplifies one's emotions.

I hate the gooks. I will hate them as long as I live.

I like you because you were mad. And you're pretty. And pretty sane for a mad person.
