I finally figured out how to read origami directions.

I actually did a lot of improvised movies or movies that were partially improvised.

When I was 13, I wasn't the coolest kid in my class, and that inner dork is a wonderful thing to have.

In making a movie, you're part of a big machine. Even in a small movie there are still so many people involved in the process, and it costs so much money to make. There is so much more invested in it for a lot of different people, so much money is sunk into it that they usually want some guarantee or promise that it's going to be able to do something on a financial level. There's just a lot more messing with you in film. I love movies and I love to watch movies and being a part of the whole film experience.

I feel like making music because - and this has much to do with the way I was able to make this record - there's more of myself in it.

I don't like business talkers, you know, people who are constantly like, 'Blah blah blah movies.' I find it incredibly boring.

I'm not really that interested in pandering to an audience of people that are going to judge me before they hear me. If they hear it and don't like it, that's totally fine.
