I'd stare up at the sky and just dream a lot. Still do. I dreamed that I didn't belong here, that I was going to travel a lot.

I hated school right away. Religion had a lot to do with it because I felt like everybody was always lying to me.

I do what I want, when I want, how I want, and because of that, it has taken me so long to grow into an adult human being.

When I was about 11, 12, we moved to Jersey City. Everywhere I go I'm an outsider.

I also love the makers of South Park, because they're political, strong, and they're making all of these comments that would get you shot for if you did it in a drama.

I just never felt like I belonged anywhere. I always had a stick with a little knapsack attached.

I used to go over to my friend's house and we'd watch VCR tapes, three of them a day, and I was like, "I could come up with better stories than this." And I've wanted to write films ever since.
