What people who don't create don't understand, is that once you take money from the machine, the machine [movie industry] owns you.

Calling one thing 'literature' and another 'fiction' is a way to create status where there is none.

Great careers are getting easier to find and audition for, but harder to keep.

I started writing because it was about making my friends laugh, and when you're talking to your friends, you can't bullshit.

I never understand why women think drama and bullshit are attractive to guys. They’re not. I’m going to be real clear about this, ladies, so pay attention: Prince Charming doesn't come to rescue cunty lunatics.

Failure either ruins you, or turns you into the man you can become.

If you just don't have any idea what you want to do, the worst thing you can do is go to law school. If you can go to college, maybe it's fine to have four years of fun and learn a little bit, that's okay, but if you have to go two hundred thousand dollars in debt, that's not something I would recommend.
