Don't go where the puck's been; go where it's gonna be

Sometimes the path you're on is not as important as the direction you're heading.

I sympathize far more with heavier people than I ever will with thin. I'll never be thin. Let's be honest.

Any book is a self-help guide if you can take something from it.

I really would love to play a hannibal lector or PSYCO type character.

I know what it feels like to carry a lot of weight in a society that's very image-conscious. It's a thin person's world, and we try to navigate within it without being made fun of.

Don't be afraid to do weird stuff, so long as you do it cheaply and cover everyone's bets. Be bold. Be stupid, if you have to: so long as you don't hurt anybody, what's it matter how dopey your dream is? If I hadn't made TUSK? If I'd let it die as a podcast? I wouldn't have three other movies I'm now making within the span of a year. Some folks will try to shame you for trying something outside the norm; the only shame is in not trying to accomplish your dreams.
