Most filmmakers' entire body of knowledge is of other movies. When they describe things, they describe them in relation to other movies. That's why we have so many cyclical movies that look like other movies. But I'm not cynical. I even go to some of those movies.
I admire sensible, kind people. They're not often famous.
I know fashion can be intensely goofy, but it is something I've always taken pretty seriously.
I have driven school buses, sold egg rolls and painted houses, and I have often wondered what my life would have been like if I hadn't gone into acting. Mind you, it's a great life, going around pretending you're other people and getting paid ridiculous sums of money for it.
I don't have a saviour or a royal family.
I am inspired by the appearance of a bohemian of the new millennium.
Theater is so ephemeral, and I love that.
Reviews are destructive by their very nature.
I never really did a western western.
Imagine how asleep or utterly unperceptive and clueless you would have to be not to see yourself as absurd for the most part.
I'm a little bit of a fabric lunatic.
