I'm Not Into Extreme Sports Or Something.

My Point Of View Comes More From The Literature I've Read And The Comedy Of The Era. When I Was A Kid, Coming Across National Lampoon Magazine, That Was A Big Thing. I Suddenly Felt Like There Were Other People That Felt The Way I Did, And There Was A Way Of Expressing And Communicating This Worldview.

I Feel Like I Want To Keep Moving Toward Idiosyncracy. Personal, Personal, Personal.

I Think Of Myself As A Guy Who Tries To Write Screenplays And Now Has Tried To Direct One. Anything More Than That Is Meaningless And It Gets In The Way Of Being A Real Human Being.

I Have A Tendency To Hire People Who Tend To Be Unattractive To The Studios. Maybe This Is A Bad Idea.

As A Writer, Or As A Filmmaker, You Have To Present Yourself, And Part Of What Yourself Is Is What You're Interested In, Or What You Think Is Funny, Or What You Think Is Sad, Or What You Think Is Horrible.
