I want to have the fun of doing anime and I love anime, but I can't do storyboards because I can't really draw and that's what they live and die on.

Movies are my religion and God is my patron. I'm lucky enough to be in the position where I don't make movies to pay for my pool. When I make a movie, I want it to be everything to me; like I would die for it.

I like my song-sequences in my movies, but one of the things I like about them, is I get in and I get out.

You name any horrific thing, and I can make a joke out of it.

My mom took me to see Carnal Knowledge and The Wild Bunch and all these kind of movies when I was a kid.

You know, my problem with most screenwriting is it is a blueprint. It's like they're afraid to write the damn thing. And I'm a writer. That's what I do. I want it to be written. I want it to work on the page first and foremost. So when I'm writing the script, I'm not thinking about the viewer watching the movie. I'm thinking about the reader reading the script.

It's very important that every movie I do makes money because I want the people that had the faith in me to get their money back.
