I went to film school and wanted to learn everything there was about making movies.

I don't ask questions. I just figure the extra warm days are God's way of rewarding me for Garden State

I love the holiday season, almost as much as I love touching myself in front of orphans.

When I played the Shins, I changed someone's life. When I play Belle and Sebastian in a pivotal scene in my next movie...well, let's just say I made sure I that I can't be held legally responsible for all the deaths people will suffer out of shock upon hearing them. They're a terrific band.

My dog has a cough. If you've never seen a dog with a cough, I recommend trying to find one. It's hilarious.

I've been doing som jogging at home recently and every time I try the distance I end up beating his time with like three or four seconds.

I didn't necessarily have a total idea when I was writing the movie of where everything was going. I just wanted to have really realistic dialogue and write like people I knew talked. I tried to keep it very real.
