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

I pretty much believe that a film is a film and when an audience watches a film, they finish it.

I'm not a craftsman of graphics or art or film. I'm more of an idea generator and manufacturer.

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.

People ask 'How does doing a film compare to doing an ad?' Well, when you're doing a commercial you don't have to sell tickets. You have a captured audience. Which is actually completely rare and great; it gives you a lot of freedom. When you make a film, you have to do advertisements for the film.

My graffiti really comes more from a May '68, sort of Situationist vibe than the hip-hop world. I think a real graffiti artist would find me a poser.

OK, so my parents were married in 1955 and my mom knew my dad was gay and my dad knew he was gay and so I was, like, 'Why in the heck did you get married?' Like, what was going on? What was that time? It's like this crazy paradox that my whole life is based on, or my family's based on. So I spent a lot of time trying to understand '55.
