What's funny is that people think, "Well there has to be something more than wrestling, because wrestling has such an absurd quality to it." But if you tell a love story, people don't ask what else is in there. They say, "Oh, it's just a love story." All stories have many levels, but these ones show their hand and say, "You might want to look a little deeper."

I make up stories that take place in real space with real people. If I could convert this into a technique for experimental novels, I might really be onto something.

Music is a permanent art, it will always go through phases where you like it and are in tune with it, but saying that music "got bad" is infantile. The same is true with your life.

I don't like to say, "Oh, I don't like this kind of music." I like to listen to it and try to see what people who like it get out of it.

Labor for a lot of people has a negative connotation. But not for me. I always want to be working.

People involved in my personal life make fun of me a lot for not being jaded.

Young people like to feel self-righteous, like they're on the right side of things.
