Being rich is not about how much money you have or how many homes you own; it's the freedom to buy any book you want without looking at the price and wondering if you can afford it.

When I started making movies about weird people, I knew they were weird, I was infected with irony, and I wanted New York to notice.

I always wanted to be a juvenile delinquent but my parents wouldn't let me.

How come there's no terrorism with humor, which is a great way to humiliate your enemy? It's a great time for that.

I haven't committed all the crimes in my movies, I would have gotten the death penalty many years ago if I had.

I love hipsters! Yes, I think they're hilarious. The really cute ones try to look ugly just to prove "I can't be ugly." Normcore was kind of funny too.

I have to talk about my movies. I have to give interviews to promote what I'm doing. But no one really knows my personal life. And if you don't have a personal life I feel bad for you.
