People cant help how they look.

All I mean is, I'm not the kind of audience comedy directors want at a test screening because I seldom laugh, and if I do, it's not very loud. That doesn't mean I don't like the movie.

Some directors hardly talk to the actors at all.

So far, at least, I haven't found a way to tell my kind of stories without making them both sad and funny.

What's most insidious about MTV is that it commodifies precisely those things that young people believe are subversive. In other words, subversity itself has become a commodity. It's all a way to trick young people into believing that there's something unique about what they do, but this is all completely a corporately designed maneuver.

I always have to presume that each movie is my last movie because I never know if I'll get money again.

Like everything, what compels one to put pen to paper is a great question.
