I feel like I'm a filmmaker; I don't feel I need to yell 'action' and 'cut.'

If I'm in something that I think is kinda good, it stays with me like a fever dream for a long time afterwards. I don't recall the finished product so much as the feeling of making it.

I was raised Catholic until I was old enough to say no.

New York's like a boxing match. In Hollywood, it's like a Fellini movie or something.
