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've decided I can't really control people's perceptions of me. All I can do is decide on what I work on and how hard I work on it.

The selfie is the new way to look someone right in the eye and say, 'Hello, this is me.'

I loved the book [The Adderall Diaries] I optioned it, I think some years ago. But there's a lot of different threads in the book. It starts off as one thing, where he's trying to cover this murder trial, and then his own life starts to impinge on that, so it becomes something else. I found that fascinating.

I went to NYU graduate film school and met Pam [Romanowsky], and after doing a few things with her I thought she had the right sensibility and that she could figure it [The Adderall Diaries] out.

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.

If this is the only life, then why I’m not just doing everything I want to do.
