I feel like kids are the perfect psychic investigators of their parents, and kids understand their parents' unconscious better than the parents ever do.
It's not perfect. I have problems with it. But as a learning experience, it was a great practice exercise.
The biggest thing that floors me is that nobody can tell me where this rule comes from.
The best thing ... is the kids are hard workers. We're all about the same level.
It makes it increasingly difficult to fill the work orders we already have.
It was pretty fun - good just playing with all these people at my level. It's nice playing against people I know will make me better. It's just good holding up the Vanguard tradition and giving my all here tonight.
Over and over again, I'm trying to express or communicate these big and small struggles to the world, and really to myself.
I guess I watch movies to make myself happier a lot.
I pretty much believe that a film is a film and when an audience watches a film, they finish it.
To me it's like, every time I'm a director, like today, you're the captain of the ship, so you better dress like it. You're the host of the party.
There is a drunkenness to grief, which is good.
The littlest thing can have the strongest connection when you're grieving. Your Proustian, poetic nerve is turned up to ten.
I'm into people's emotional lives and relationships and the complications of living. That's my turf.
My graffiti really comes more from a May '68, sort of Situationist vibe than the hip-hop world. I think a real graffiti artist would find me a poser.
