I'm doing naughty things, I'm drinking too much, I'm going to clubs. It really didn't matter to me, other than the fact that some parents wouldn't let their kids hang out with me.

I have a lot of growing up to do, or a lot of growing down. I think that's probably more appropriate.

It's about finding unique, one-of-a-kind films that I would want to see myself. I think Party Monster is one of those.

I don't even know how to define myself. I'm a person who writes. It's something I enjoy, and hopefully people enjoy it as well.

I have no control over people's perceptions of me at all and that's one of the things I decided very early on is that I can't control the way other people think of me. All I can do, especially when it comes to my career is go out there and do cool unique kinds of things.

As a senior in high school, you figure out what you want to do with your life. I asked myself if I wanted to get back into acting and thought: 'Yes, but under my own terms and nothing like it was before.'

Michael Jackson and I talk all the time. I think we understand each other in a way that most people can't understand either of us.
