I'm in full transparency here of "Yeah, I'm trying to find my financing."

Filmmaking is a huge privilege; it's not brain surgery. It's art, and art is supposed to be an enjoyable process, and it is an enjoyable experience for me.

I like my body, I like to have fun with what I put on, but I also want to remain classic. So I guess my signature is sexy and eclectic but classic.

I had had a huge background in the nuance of the accent because I went to drama school in England for four years.

I love fashion. I always have. When I was a kid, I was in almost full-on costumes when I went to school, and I've retained a bit of that in my adulthood.

With more money brings more fear and when you're trying to be creative in a fear-based environment it's dangerous. Then decisions are made out of fear, not what's best for the film.

Actually, in my own life I think I probably feign neuroses to be more interesting than I am.

I am lactose intolerant, and I always thought it was really funny how people who are lactose intolerant continue to eat dairy, because they like it so much. And I find it not acceptable.

I think of myself as a content creator and hopefully one day a content enabler and supporter of others, so that's what my immediate and hopefully future journey is.

I'm going to say a phrase or terminology or vowel that I don't know how to attack .

I'm vegan on home base, but when I travel to other countries, I throw it all into the garbage.

To be ready to fail is to be prepared for success.

It's harder to be a success, globally, and be artistic. Harder to have that balance than just to be artistic when nobody understands you.

Hoping to live days of greater happiness, I forget that days of less happiness are passing by.

I'm quite a smiley guy, I have my moments, but I think I'm generally of a relatively optimistic nature.

I plan to join the 'SNL' band as a maraca player and stand behind saxophonist Lenny Pickett. That way they will at least cut to me before commercial breaks. I'll be sure to look right into camera.

In some ways Lester Young is the most complex rhythmically of any musician. He does some things which are just phenomenal.

The team should have implicit confidence in the captain's decisions.

And here in my isolation I can grow stronger. Poetry seems to come of itself, without effort, and I need only let myself dream a little while painting to suggest it.

Artists can help re-imagine a conflict and start a dialogue.

I believe that the silence of God, the absolute speechlessness of Him is a long, long, and awful thing that the whole world is lost because of.
