I've never had that fear of going against the grain.

There are a lot of things that come to bear on movies now that I don't think are good for movies. They're trying to appeal to the biggest demographic and, when they do that, you sometimes flatten out.

You're this rat in the American maze, working your way towards the cheese, which is a job.

It's such a cool thing in life to get what it is you want. Most of the time we don't, but occasionally we do.

You can spend your life trying to be popular, and that's a tricky business. You can just try to be true to yourself.

You just do the things that you love and see if other people can like them too.

If it's fifty years from now and it still has the same value, that's a movie.
