When I was a child, I wanted to be an actor, but I had really bad buck teeth. I didn't want to get braces, but my mom said I couldn't be an actor if I didn't get the braces. So, I got the braces.

Directing, editing, and everything about filmmaking has definitely changed me as an actor.

Did you ever see Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke? That's what happens if you really smoke weed and make a movie. You get two guys and no plot and it's basically like, 'Yeah! Let's drive a van made of weed!' And that's pretty much the movie.

I love that the idea of examining memory, and the way memory is edited was made more interesting because it was being filtered through a writer.

Teens today rule the world. The whole culture - movies, music - is pointed at young people. They have so 'much' power.

If the work is good, what does it matter? I'm doing it because I love it. Why not do as many things I love as I can? As long as the work is good.

You want to be interesting? Be interested.
