I like making little videos and little records. I've always loved video cameras and four-track cassette recorders, still cameras, anything.

When you believe that you can do something that's when you can do it.

A lot of movies try to set up a world with cool sets, costumes, camera work. In Brick, the world is born from the words.

Being politically active is "more about doing things, not just standing for some platform or being involved in some political party."

The cool thing about my character was that it's not that digital. I get to put hours of prosthetic makeup on and see a different creature altogether. I've seen how he looks and it's really cool.

I think there is something beautiful in reveling in sadness

Don't we want to escape our real world and go into something larger than that, simpler than that, more beautiful or darker?
