I like feeling at home and knowing people. I like talking about ideas and being friendly.

A moustache to a man is the same as a fringe is to a woman. When you've got it, you want to grow it out; when you've grown it out, you want to cut it.

My favourite things are jokes, friendliness and feeling comfortable.

I loved moustaches. I used to draw myself with one. When I was 14, I was really into war and Van Gogh.

I've dubbed myself as an amateur, not because I work in different field, but because I do what I do for love.

One of my biggest problems in life has been my inability to lie.

We believe in a society in delusion, and if you're awake and not deluded people tell you you're mad. That's why I'm a freak and they're not. But I'm actually not.

Sometimes, to fix something, you need to completely ruin something else

He needs to be punished because the law hasn't punished him. He's never done any hard time.

When I paint I am ageless, I just have the pleasure or the difficulty of painting.

We hold on to hope, and hope robs us of the present moment.

There is a tendency for people to say evolution is only a theory. That is inappropriate.

You marvel at the economy and this choice of words. How many ways can you describe the sky and the moon? After Sylvia Plath, what can you say?

You earn very little money on independent films and I'm the provider for my home, so I do have to think of taking one for the accountant time and again and that means studio pictures.

Change is hard, I should know. I should know.
