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.

People still recognize me all the time on the street. The first thing they say when they stop me is, "Where have you been?" The second comment they make is always, "Oh, you've grown up."

I am a collection of thoughts and memories and likes and dislikes. I am the things that have happened to me and the sum of everything I've ever done. I am the clothes I wear on my back. I am every place and every person and every object I have ever come across. I am a bag of bones stuck to a very large rock spinning a thousand miles an hour.

I'm not one of those people who needs that gratification of doing, like, 10 films a year.

All the child-star clichés. I've tried very hard to avoid them all.

The funny thing is, I'm not really a big reader, not a big fan of books in the first place.
