My father actually lived next door to Hobie Alter [creator of the Hobie catamarans]. So growing up, we had prototypes and experimental things that we could play with; it was just fabulous. I actually bought my first surfboard in junior high. I saved my money.

I found that whatever interested me in life, I could pretty much pick up the phone, call somebody, and all of a sudden be in the middle of it.

Glorifying violence is terrible. Simulating sex is nothing - it's something so impersonal really.

It's so easy to conform and to follow. It's very difficult to be rebellious and live by what you believe is right. And to make decisions and to take the consequences. Very few people do.

You could be as vulgar as you want, as long as three tiny spots were covered.

There's an incredible fascination for that and that goes with violence and everything else in pictures.

I hate to run. I never, ever run.
