If something rad is going on and it has to do with film, I want to be there. If it's getting coffee, I don't care. It's a passion of mine.

I grew up in a very responsible, social, Democratic community, and destruction was a bad word. But, in California, destruction is a rad word. The juxtaposition of the two is really what made me into who I am today, in my battles with how fun it is to be bad, and how wrong it is to be bad.

I've made compromises to survive in life, and to be able to do what I want to do. But, once anything has been put on screen, I've never made a compromise.

Honestly when you do it black and white, you really have to work your ass off. Because if you make it, make it good. Otherwise, don't pretend.

I'm not ill-informed about movies. I like movies that take it to that next step.

It's masturbation for writers to be able to write this absolutely outrageous personality, in a character that you somehow agree with, part of the time, at least.
