I've trained myself to illuminate the things in my personality that are likable and to hide and protect the things that are less likeable.

Goofy was the word that was used most often by my sisters because I've been this tall ever since I was 12 years old.

For me, the greater purpose of the story is just to illuminate some pattern of human truth.

I'm motivated by fear. Fear of fear. I hate being scared to do something. And I think what developed in my early days was the attitude that I started attacking things that I was scared of.

I don't want to be an icon. I want to be an idea. I want to represent possibilities.

I believe you need to be educated about what you want to do in life, but I don't believe you actually need college to get you there.

I think that when I make a film, I'm terrified that people will come to work and work on something that they're not proud of.
