You get trapped by stories. Though I've got this reputation for being out of control, it's not true, it just happens to be a more interesting story than the truth.

I don't think you ever learn just one thing. At some point you start unlearning things. I have been working hard to unlearn everything I know.

I'm trying to escape by forming my own kind of world. Basically, I'm trying to encourage others to do the same.

I can feel my dreams but I can't remember them.

I thought, how do you confuse violent Russian mobsters? Well, by being silly!

Whatever I do might be good, it might be bad, it might be all sorts of things, but it's not mediocre.

I just like the fact I can make a film which might give comfort to some people who think they are the only crazy person in the world and suddenly they see there are two crazy people in the world.
