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

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 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.

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

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.

Octavius, calm down.""How can I? When you touch my cousin more freely than you touch me? When I walk in, hoping to see my beautiful mate, but I see her with him!

You can't predict the outcome. You can't raise a child and then tell them what to think.

Mindfulness is a quiet mind, an aware mind. Mindfulness itself is not about ‘arriving, ’ but about being.

Photography is about capturing souls, not smiles.

I've had a lot of mother figures. But by the time my mom came into my life, it wasn't a 'mommy' thing. It's more of an adult relationship.

The corporate world has the resources to improve the world. It's where people live and work.

The believer is happy. The doubter is wise.

I had a pretty sexual imagination for a kid.

Maybe I will hire someone to make some belts for me. It's easier than fighting for them you know.

Yes, whatever happened, happened; but what happens now is up to you. You can respond from ego, ensuring pain, or you can respond from spirit, ensuring a miracle.
