My very best friend died in a car accident when I was 16 years old. That was the hardest blow emotionally that I have ever had to endure. Suddenly, you realize tomorrow might not come. Now I live by the motto, 'Today is what I have.'

I buy records - vinyl. I have a record player at home.

You can't respect yourself if you're afraid to be who you are.

I don't know if I've owned a piece of technology that I hated - I don't think I would have owned it then.

I've got a soft spot for true individuals.

I was working with real artists [in the Rum Diary], and that's difficult to do and very rare, in this industry, ironically.

I love my horror films and they will always be very close to me.
