As a son of a man who pretended to be one thing for 33 years of my life and then was another thing, the questions of 'what is real' and 'what is not real' are very blurrily vivid to me.

Being a good Hans Haacke student, part of his influence on me is that there's no difference between a gallery show and a film - or even an ad and a T-shirt-in terms of cultural legitimacy. They're just different contexts in which to have some sort of communication.

To me, sadness and humor aren't disrelated and humor is the best tool I've had against the sadness in my life.

We never did things as we were supposed to do. That was part of our ethic. We did what felt right to us, not what someone told us we should do.

I definitely believe in the energy of the set and the energy of the actor, way more than your written word.

Life is too short for a half-rack.

I guess I watch movies to make myself happier a lot.
