I wanted to just be a filmmaker, and I thought I wanted to do all the aspects, and it seemed like as a producer was the best way to do it, because I could have... You never have control on a movie, but you have as much control as you can.

All my romantic stories are a scrambled version of that first one.

I like the George Romero films, which were really great, social satire movies; really twisted.

Most movies, once the action starts there's no more characters. You say a couple of dumb lines and then there's just explosions until the end.

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

With acting, you wanna see if you can get into trouble without knowing how you're gonna get out of it. It's like the exact opposite of war, where you need an exit strategy. When you're acting, you should get all the way into trouble with no exit strategy, and have the cameras rolling.

I remember once acting really cool on a bus with this girl named Stephanie. When I got home, I realized that I had a really big zit on my forehead. If you have acne problems, you really shouldn't be acting like Don Juan.
