I get very little sleep. But I try to stay constantly busy. My fear is that if I stop working I'll, like, die. So throughout my life I've always tried to remain busy, and I sort of know no other way. I think if my heart rate slowed it would affect my constitution, strangely. I've been trained to do that.

When I'm directing I'm working from 100% of my brain, but when I'm acting I'm working from my heart.

I've always been a fan of Andy Kaufman.

I looked like a 'Super Mario Bros.' Goomba. It's arguably the ugliest haircut on the planet.

I look a little like Beaker. I think I'm a cross between Beaker and The Count. My hair looks like Oscar the Grouch. It's Muppety hair.

I think I veered towards filmmaking because there's more of a sense of control in it. You're not waiting to be picked. That said, in film school I acted in probably 6,000 student films because no other filmmakers knew anyone who wanted to act. It was all a big beautiful snake eating its tail, progressing along the way.

I found out that smoking is the leading cause of statistics.
