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.

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

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.

Everything physical is a creation of time

Nothing is so contagious as enthusiasm it moves stones it charms brutes. Enthusiasm is the genius of sincerity and truth accomplishes no victories without it.

I wore goofy hats to school and did musical theater. Most people thought I was a dork. But if you have a sense of humor about it, no one can bring you down.

Did I feel a physical desire for him? I did. Was I moved by a passion of my body? I was. Have I experienced the most violent form of sensual pleasure? I have.

The man that walks wit crowd, will get no farther than the crowd. The man that walks alone, will reach places unknown.

If the body can respond so decisively to music, it must in some sense be music.

Love is the ark appointed for the righteous, Which annuls the danger and provides a way of escape. Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment. Cleverness is mere opinion, bewilderment intuition.

When it comes to my family I never quite know how protective I have to be, or what I should or shouldn't say.

All logical arguments can be defeated by the simple refusal to reason logically

I used to sit in front of McDonald's and ask people for dollars to get me a cheeseburger. It was bad.
