I make independent movies. I don't know how to do anything else. I don't know any other job that I could really get.

You go to school to figure out who you want to be and how you can do it, and [maybe] I should have, because the films would probably be technically better.

I never had any desire to get a tattoo. If I was ever going to get one, I would get a plain anchor with a rope around it, the most unimaginative possible tattoo, like Popeye had.

And my little sister Chrissy, for teaching me that life is nothing if you're not obsessed.

People who want to act rich when they're upper-middle class. They try too hard.

Terrible things always seemed to happen to hitchhikers in movies - including my own. It has always been glamorous and dangerous and scary and sexy.

I tried heroin. I shot up in high school, but I just thought it was so dreary: puking and nodding.
