If I can avoid the mirror when I brush my teeth in the morning, I will. I find security and safety in the most profound degree of ignorance. If you can just stay ignorant of almost everything you'll be OK. It's fine to stay informed and look at things, but to judge things will bog you down.

I had just had a daughter, who was three or three-and-half years old, and I had been watching nothing but cartoons. That's really it. There was no YouTube. You're in France and you're raising a kid, so you break out the Tex Avery.

Puberty was very vague. I literally locked myself in a room and played guitar.

Keep moving forward and do what you have to do for you.

Anything I've done up till May 27th 1999 was kind of an illusion, existing without living. My daughter, the birth of my daughter, gave me life.

If there is any message to my work, it is ultimately that it's ok to be different.

I don't like watching myself in the movies because I don't like being aware of the product. I like the process. I enjoy that.
