I was never interested in what everybody else was interested in. I was very interiorized. I always felt kind of sad.

There was one moment, and it happened in school. I had a big final exam - we were supposed to write a 20-page report on this book about Houdini. I probably would have loved reading it, but I didn't, so I just decided to make a little super-8 movie based on it. I tied myself to the railroad tracks and all that. I mean, this is kid stuff, but it impressed the teacher, and I got an A. And that was maybe my first turning point, when I said, 'Yeah, I wouldn't mind being a filmmaker.'

I have a problem when people say something's real or not real, or normal or abnormal. The meaning of those words for me is very personal and subjective. I've always been confused and never had a clearcut understanding of the meaning of those kinds of words.

Son, are you happy? I don't mean to pry, but do you dream of Heaven? Have you ever wanted to die?

I like actors who like to change and transform to other things.

I am the shadow on the moon at night/Filling your dreams to the brim with fright.

I'm gonna go live in a cave, just completely live in my interior world.
