I don't have any ambitions as an actor. I felt very uncomfortable doing it. The first take every day I'd open my mouth and no words would come out. I'd do a couple of takes and eventually I could run the lines.

I'm from Wisconsin; well, that's where I went to school from, like, sixth grade till I graduated high school.

I don’t have anger towards women. It’s the first script I wrote, I was really young. I got older. It’s told from an angry point-of-view. Young men are crazy strange emotional beings.

When things aren't working out for people, the end of the world seems like an easy way to wipe the slate clean.

It was a hobby I got into a long time ago, hacking cameras. I was able to make my own using different lenses.

If I have an idea I want to put in a movie, I know what camera will make that look best, and I have ideas for future projects and stuff I'd like to build for those. I think it's just part of how I work, though.

I developed a group of friends around me that were all as crazy as I was about wanting to make films.
