Whatever you've accomplished, there's always more to experience.

In my fantasy I was always the savior. I would come to 'Peanuts' land and save everybody. Charlie Brown would fall madly in love with me. Peppermint Patty was so jealous.

I wanted to do a movie about being really good at something, yet being socially awkward and not as advanced in your personal life as you are in your creative life.

It turned out I had always been a smoker. I just hadn't had any cigarettes.
