I'm not really volunteering for no family films. I really like the sweet spot of being able to be edgy and controversial.

Wanting an honest opinion about my art from someone whose opinion I respect makes me feel vulnerable. It's a great space to be in.

For my lifestyle, I believe in living 10 times below my means. As a result of that, I have the luxury of working only when I'm inspired.

An unresolved past erodes beauty in the present.

I don't drive an Escalade; I've never lived on a mansion; I live in a townhouse. Even with my internet business, when I was making just shy of a million and a half a year, I lived in the same house.

The Universe responds to specificity.

Writing a funny story is one thing. But writing a funny story that inspires others to venture beyond their level of comfort in pursuit of their greater good is what makes me come alive.
