I didn't get into film to win Academy Awards. I wanted to have a conversation with the audience.

It's a joyful thing, being a Catholic. I can't even think about sex without thinking about bodily waste.

Batman has an impeccable moral compass, he’s clever and mysterious, and when fucktards get sassy, he punches them in the face.

I always wanted to see if I could sell a movie to the public without doing any marketing because my philosophy was like, 'Hey man, I'm reaching my audience everyday. I'm twittering with them. I'm in direct contact with them on the podcast.'

I don't have to write to South West buddy. In an hour South West gonna come looking for me!

Oh, I'm online all the time now. I'm not an outdoorsy type.

I liked hockey, and I still like hockey.

When you're an artist, all you're trying to do is self-express.

I saw Richard Linklater's film 'Slacker' for my twenty-first birthday. That was the moment when it all seemed possible. This guy gave me hope.

I've always kind of ripped from real life to some degree or at least how I'm feeling in the moment.

You know, comics and movies, even if you take a comic and turn it into a movie, we can't all be Joss Whedon.

I think: 'Wouldn't it be great to work with Bill Murray?' And then I'm like, 'You know what, just appreciate Bill Murray from afar, don't find out that maybe he's not the dude you want to work with.'

People wanted more advice. So I finally thought I could totally put this advice into a book.

Other filmmakers make their movies and put them out and that's that. For me, for some odd reason, it goes deeper than that.

It's too expensive, that's the thing nobody wants to talk about. It is too expensive to make movies. That's not true, it is too expensive to market movies. Making movies is not.

Why do my movies make people feel so dead inside?
