For years, my job was to make the movie inexpensively. And I could bring it in. What I can't control are the costs of marketing.

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

I saw Richard Linklater's film 'Slacker' for my twenty-first birthday. That was the moment when it all seemed possible. This guy gave me hope.

It's like a dream come true. When somebody is paying you to talk about yourself, you've won.

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.

Im gonna try to pay for CLERKS III myself. As much as I love the crowd-funding model, thats an advancement in indie film that belongs to the next generation of artists. I started on my own dime, and if Im allowed, I should finish on my own dime.

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