It takes nothing away from a human to be kind to an animal.

My music is going to be true. I'm not out to sell records. I'm experiencing something, and it's what I feel.

I love scripts about relationships, and I love to see puppy love evolving into this mature love and communication.

I do like to collaborate, and I like hearing other people, and I like how somebody's performance will affect my own.

I don't know a single person in life that doesn't have conflict. I don't really enjoy acting enough to not want to experience something that feels like it really affects things. It's like, if you were a surfer, would you want to surf where there was like two-foot waves, or would you want to surf on like ten-foot waves. To me, the more kind of dramatic stories are more exciting for me, to play with.

For as long as I've been making movies, I really don't know a lot of the technical side. I mean, I've actively and consciously tried to avoid learning that stuff. I just want to be open and receptive to what's happening in the moment, and I don't want to force anything.

My personal life absolutely goes down the drain when I start working; that's something that I'm incapable of doing.
