The stories I'm interested in are challenging ones, and maybe that requires a little bit more of you. I love my job and I want to earn the right to do it every single day.

I was having a hard time at school, in terms of being crap at everything, with no discernible talent.

I think that the process of making a film is an underrated factor in how that film turns out.

I think it speaks to the fact that other people are as excited about originality as we are. I think the thing that has been wonderfully communicated in the trailers and all the promotion for the movie [Swiss Army Man] is that it isn't like anything else you've ever seen, and we're not just saying that. I think that excites people.

I'm not too worried about humanity in the future. I think we've got an innate ability as a species to self-correct.

I don't think of those things [from farting, to male on male affection, to crossdressing] as being taboo, I suppose, so it didn't strike me as, "Oh, I'm breaking boundaries and stuff..."

Don't try too hard to be something you're not.
