It's very odd that we have such an easy relationship to violence in this country, and we're still shocked by the female figure.

I'm interested in people. I'm curious about people, and of course we're curious about people whose work we respond to. So I'm not saying that I don't understand fascination with other people. But as it's dealt with in this American, modern-day culture, I find it not just boring but actually sort of destructive, really.

The early part of my career was the 1990s, and I was living in New York working as an actor. It was the world I was in. A lot of companies had a great deal of money.

My senior thesis was a documentary. By the time I graduated from college, I thought I was going to make films, and my interest in acting was there but kind of confused.

My mother said I was a little odd as a kid. I was alone a lot, but I didn't feel alone.

There are a lot of countries, oil-producing countries, that aren't very democratic, but supported by the United States. That's odd.

If you talk to your friends the way your parents talk, they will think you are stiff and odd.

What's odd is that I've never been asked to do any comedy in film. That's something I could certainly do.
