I majored in Chinese Studies. I'm probably the only director of chicken Indian zombie movies who can speak pretty good Mandarin.

The first time I took acid, I made the decision that I would stay in New York and find an independent film company to get a job with.

I don't make crappy movies. I spend two or three years making a film. I don't take myself seriously, but I take my movies very seriously.

The nice thing about piracy is, it allows the public to get independent art, to get a variety of music and movies.

Luckily, I've never been offered a directing job that was lucrative. I've never heard, "Here's $800,000 to remake Sisters."

I would only make a movie that I believe in. If I didn't believe in it, it would be unworthy.

Mickey Mouse should be in the public domain by now. What a better world it would be if other people were doing things with Mickey Mouse!
