I know you're supposed to tell kids not to do drugs, but, kids, do it! Do weed! Don't do the other stuff, but weed is good

I always wanted to see if I could sell a movie to the public without doing any marketing because my philosophy was like, 'Hey man, I'm reaching my audience everyday. I'm twittering with them. I'm in direct contact with them on the podcast.'

I didn't get into film to win Academy Awards. I wanted to have a conversation with the audience.

My job is to say, 'This is how I see the world. Do you agree?'

Whenever I'm not shooting, I'm in the editing room with my footage. While the crew is taking 15 minutes to an hour to set up the next shot, I'm behind the Avid, putting the flick together.

Don't let anybody tell you different, man: The main goal in life careerwise should always be to try to get paid to simply be yourself.

I'm always cribbing from real life. I'm not a very creative filmmaker.
