I was never a joiner. I tried - I had people I admired and liked and wanted to hang with, but I ended up starting a theatre company and that took me back to Chicago... I guess I wasn't a scenester in the end. Something must have worked out right, as I'm still here - but I'm only a binge socialite.

I'm not making any plans. I'm just going to let the universe surprise me.

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 try not to dwell on the past. I'm not a big go-back-and-try-to-relive-your-past kinda person.

My job is to just express something that I want to express. And if I'm ahead or behind the curve, that's for others to decide.

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

I was never interested in being an overly public person.
