I'm not one of those directors who can just kind of walk away from the edit room and come back and check in.

It's just not enough time on set. That's my favorite time. I live for that time on set. I feel like that's when I'm stretching and flexing my muscles and learning how to direct better.

I'm drawn again and again to relationships between people who really, really want to connect and just can't get out of their own way to do it.

Flaws make us all human, and you're rooting for characters because of those flaws. It's ageless if you're interested in relationships and the way people can or can't relate to each other.

Although humor is present in every one of my films, it has always been used as a way to make the darker, heavier stuff in my stories more palatable. I never set out to make 'Humpday' a comedy.

I had a background in theater as an actor, and then a photographer, and then as an experimental filmmaker and editor.

I feel like this is the way I was meant to interact with acting. Which is as a director, and helping, working with actors to find their way. Facilitating their performances is so satisfying for me.

I can connect with whoever I want to connect with in the world. And I can also write my own script. I don't have to follow rules. I can sort of just be unconventional.

To forsake wisdom is to seek folly, to seek folly is to seek evil, to seek evil is to be in the arms of the devil, and to be in the arms of the devil is be in the arms of death.

The trees and the nature are friendlier in today’s earth than commercial sick mass population.

This is laid down with a groove funkier and blacker than anything Prince of Michael Jackson--or any other black artist of the recent years for that matter--has come up with.

DOS is ugly and interferes with users' experience.

There is a black which is old and a black which is fresh. Lustrous black and dull black, black in sunlight and black in shadow.

Any jackass can talk about bombing Iran.

Death's vigilance is eternal, so shall mine be.

She likes to try everything, out of curiosity, but she'll be sorry if she isn't guided by her heart.

What is the difference between astroturf and grass? I don't know, I never smoked astroturf.
