I have always made films simultaneously, so they go hand in hand. I think that my books are like films.

I always thought that I was lazy because I could never tell if I was working or not. I was making things, which doesn't seem like work.

The place where I am is always my favorite place.

I am excited about more than just youth culture, and youth is also stretching a bit longer now. But I have to say resistance and disregard keeps me excited.
