I'm always looking for overlooked post-Dylan singer-songwriter records from the '70s.

I made two movies very young, and then I had trouble getting a movie made, and so - which was both, I think, a plus and a minus. It was a minus because it made me unhappy.

When I start a movie, there will be certain films that I watch again just because the vibe seems right.

I'm good with a grill. I like to make cheeseburgers - I once read in a David Goodis crime novel that you're only supposed to flip a burger once.

I used a video camera, and shot on film cameras at school and stuff, but I had a lot more training as a writer. I kind of live like a writer. I get up and I write. I've done that my whole life.

I find a lot of writing happens when you're not actually at the computer. So I carry a notebook.

There's always some generational-guys-hanging-out movie that is made every few years, I think, and some of them are great.
