I don't love LA. I love New York and Minneapolis, so if I have a choice I'll stay in those places.

When you see something from afar, you develop a fantasy. But when you see it up close, 9 times out of 10, you wish you hadn't.

I see movies all the time that manipulate you by playing a high note on the piano or some string instrument, and suddenly you're crying. I'm sick of being told what to think.

My friends and I make short films. We pretended to rob the Dairy Queen where our friend worked, but someone thought we were real thieves and called the cops! Soon, the cops burst in with guns drawn!

I think the fact that we allow guns in our country is the main problem with school shootings.

Running around when I was a kid was a really happy time; a time when getting home for dinner or for sleep were my only responsibilities.

I like movies about people and movies with characters; that's what I'm drawn to as a person who likes to create these characters within the story, but I like it all, really.
