I spent all my time on my movies worried that people were eating and that the schedule was being kept, so to have experts in those areas giving me the brain space as a writer and director is huge.

At my age, no one is married, no one has kids, no one has a career.

I frustrate myself as a writer. There are certain things that I'll think, 'Well, that would be really fun to play... if somebody else was playing this character.'

I think that social networking makes people more connected, yet more distant, so there are people with less ties to real friend groups and less a sense of self.

There is something vulnerable about showing your tattoos to people, even while it gives you a feeling that you are wearing a sleeve when you are naked.

I sometimes want to make a book of every tattoo I wanted to get before I actually got a tattoo, because there were so many awful ideas and concepts.

For me, my life goal is to be in a position where I can wear pajamas 24 hours a day. That's what makes me happy.
