I'm a self-taught musician, so I never really had the restrictions of any one instrument. I would always just sort of pick up instruments and make noise with 'em.

I'm sort of always trying to reinvent and recreate a better way of being, because, you know, democracy has been "the worst of all political systems except for all the rest." So I think we have a lot of room to grow and be a better society, and it's a constant battle. It's an exciting opportunity to be active.

In narrative films, you set up reality, so you can limit the variables. You don't have that luxury with docs.

As great as technology is, it still has it's limitations, because it's only a frame of the truth

I'm one with New York, and New York is one with me. I grew up there; there's no escaping it. We're like Siamese twins, if you separate us, I'll die.

I am not an artist except that when I envision a concept, I sometimes indulge it.

It's enough to indulge and to be selfish but true happiness is really when you start giving back.
