With my art, it's the one thing that I know will outlive me and outlive my feelings. It will outlive my depressive seasons.

We all know we have a finite period of time. I just feel if I'm going to be alive, I want to be challenged - to be as immortal as possible. The path to that isn't an easy way, but it's a rewarding way.

I've written some great things. That's a gift, but there's consequences. Yeah, you get this great work, but you suffer. You really, really suffer.

I don't have any secrets I need kept any more.

Don't feel sad over someone who gave up on you, feel sorry for them because they gave up on someone who would have never given up on them.

Whenever I think about movies, I always look at that art process as having the best of a lot of worlds. Because if you watch a great film, you have a musical element to it, not just on the scoring, but in the way that the shots are edited - that has music and rhythm and time.

My TV ain't HD, that's too real
