I am fairly embraced by the Hollywood community, and I love making movies and I love acting, but I'm not real crazy about the Hollywood system. So the fact that they embrace me is a shock to me because I tell them to kiss my ass all the time. I don't understand why they haven't thrown me out on my ear. The other thing is I don't participate much. I have very few friends within the movie community. I hang out with some guys I've known forever. They're all broke and eat me out of house and home. But I stay home mostly and I don't go to the parties. Maybe that preserves me.

I write songs on guitar and that's about how good of a guitar player I am. I can write songs on it.

If you love somebody let them know every day.

I've danced one time in my life. It was the most mortifying experience I ever had.

My songs aren't built around choruses or hooks or anything like that. That's kind of how I write screenplays too.

I quit flying years ago. I don't want to die with tourists.

I think my stuff's kind of obsolete now, you know? I'm making Model Ts or something, and everybody else is making spaceships.
