When I started, I wanted to be thought of as tortured and seductive, not funny, but humor tends to be a reflexive part of a person's sensibility. It's an almost impossible thing to teach anyone, which leads me to believe that it's intuitive.

My idea with my work is always to fashion something that's impossible to transpose into any other media.

I think I'm a shy, self-conscious person who thinks he's being looked at and tries to look okay. Not in a hottie, narcissistic way necessarily.

I've always been entranced with theater.

I think of memory as a game, that is as something one engages in with a very profound kind of "playfulness."

The interesting thing about something in the back of your mind is that it can travel pretty far back in your mind.

I think people got in touch with me either knowing my work, or probably more frequently just knowing a plot or sort of buzz about something I did and sort of saying, "Get that guy that writes the crazy stuff in here."
