eating is the sleeping of being awake.

Hollywood has the idea that movies have to be dumb. But especially movies for or about teenagers have to be really dumb!

I've always found it sort of hilarious, and occasionally horrifying, how these images [in mass media] impact us, and especially when it comes to love and sex and relationships, I think we sometimes develop unrealistic expectations.

I collect flickering stars in old pickling jars, poking holes in the lids so they can breathe.

I think some of the best actors ever were little kids.

So to compare your real life, or your partner or lover or whoever to a character in a movie, you're setting yourself up for disappointment. They don't map.

I do feel that even though I didn't grow up being a big sci-fi fan or comic books or superhero fan, I felt myself definitely gravitate towards these movies that have a high concept and yet they're giving you a moral dilemma within that.
