Failure is success training.

Indie film isn’t dead. It just grew up.

People like to set the bar high. I like to put the bar on the ground and barely step over it. I like to keep the expectations really low.

The writer crafts their ideal world. In my world, everyone has really long conversations or just picks apart pop culture to death and everyone talks in monologue.

People always ask me if I hate the nuns. Do I make my movies extra dirty to piss them off? I always say no, that's not the point. To a Catholic, a movie is only dirty if it makes you want to have sex more. If it makes you feel sick, disgusted, ashamed of your own body, then it's not a dirty movie at all. It's a Catholic movie. And I make very Catholic movies.

Generally, I wake up, honestly it's creepy, but I wake up around 4:20.

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