I live my life through fear. If I'm afraid of it I'll do it just so I'm not afraid of it anymore.

There's too much down time making movies. That leads to boredom. And that leads to trouble.

I think cinema should provoke thoughts, sure, but using it as I soapbox I think is the wrong place. I never want to be part of something like that, where there's an agenda there that's not about telling a story, where its someone getting on a soapbox and preaching their own beliefs onto somebody.

I was very shy when I was younger. But I did have a terrible temperament. I would get angry very quickly, but the rest of the time I was this big goofball, playing the drums in a band and making out with girls.

I love music. I do play. It's like mathematics, and it's also emotional. It's nice to play, for no other reason than just to play.

I want my personal life to be personal... And I don't care if you're talking about things that are true, you're still talking about my personal life.
