Why do my movies make people feel so dead inside?

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 not even supposed to be here today.

There's something to be said for failing. It's not the failure you feel, it's the failure that people project when something disappoints. You're back to ground zero, where there's no expectations, and that's where I like to be.

I grew up in a pretty gay world - my brother's gay and he's been married to a man for 20 years, which is like 60 in straight-people years.

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

It's too expensive, that's the thing nobody wants to talk about. It is too expensive to make movies. That's not true, it is too expensive to market movies. Making movies is not.
