Jersey is my hometown, and I love it. I'll probably have houses in other places, but that's my home, and nobody's kicking me out of there.
Do you remember that woman from Batteries Not Included, and Driving Miss Daisy? What's her name? Jessica Tandy. Idol. I love that woman. Her bio totally made me cry. That's dedication and that's passion. She's amazing, and I love her for everything she's done.
I wasn't into smooching until I was 16.
The whole surf culture is starting to embrace women a lot more.
I've gone both ways. I do as I please. I am too f**king curious to sit here and not try when I can. Men are intriguing. So are chicks.
I was in Jersey when the whole World Trade Center thing happened and I felt powerless. So, I went to Hawaii and did a surf movie. It's kind of fluffy.
I'm stubborn. I'm hardheaded. I don't do what I don't want to do.
I don't have an agent. The only work I get is through friendships that I've already built.
I'm always researching ancient religions, and I was also raised Jehovah's Witness, so that kind of scarred me for life.
It's nice having a heart and a pussy too!
We have a daily schedule we follow. They adjust to it and they follow it. They enjoy being in school.
When you make a film, you have to follow filmmaking rules. Like, a soundtrack... can get in the way of the serenity of the game.
People forget we come from an embryo and we're part sperm and part ovary. We have both sides in us.
I want them to listen to me for what I am saying. And I think the best way to do that is to sniff my armpits, and like, sit and burp every now and then.
