Live a "Why not?" life, man. Take the shot. The shot is always worth taking.

When you're an artist, all you're trying to do is self-express.

I wanted to get my movie noticed WITHOUT spending any ad money. So I made a bit of a spectacle. I recorded lots of podcasts. I bickered with hate groups. I criticized critics. I banged pots together. I did everything I could to raise awareness without raising any money to do so.

It's taken me 15 years to step behind a camera and make something everyone agrees looks like a movie.

If there was no Internet, my career would have ended in 1995.

T-shirts and long pants make me easier to find in a crowd, but also easy to disappear in a crowd because if I am wearing this and suddenly I am not, it's like a Harry Potter invisibility cloak.

I try never to worry in general. Worry is interest paid in advance on a debt that never comes due.
