I'm interested in reaching the masses with my work. It's one of my goals.

I spent all of my money on film. I remember I would do these set-design jobs or transcribe or just anything to get, like, a $100 check and go immediately to Adorama and buy expired film.

The cool part about New York is that you can do that. You can talk to all the people you admire.

I didn't have to be friends with people who were into pop music.

I really don't want to be part of just one group. I'm interested in doing everything - making music videos, shooting campaigns, having -gallery and museum shows, making movies. Everyone wants to put you in a box, and I'm afraid I'm not that kind of person.

I was pretty Irish Catholic Jersey, the middle of the line.

From 8 to 19, I was skateboarding every single day. That was my life. I worked at a skate shop. I watched skate videos.
