“I'm the Emily Dickinson of screenplays.”
“I like to go to the movies and watch characters who make me question how I see the world.”
“I was in Ann Arbor, and I was told that this singer-songwriter guy wanted to meet me. It was Kurt Cobain. Nirvana had just made 'Bleach.' Kurt interviewed me on a college radio station. It was very strange. He was a fan of mine, and he gave me his album.”
“Whenever people hear that Kurt Cobain was a fan of my standup, it's like hearing Jimi Hendrix loved Buddy Hackett or something.”
“Every week, there's a different equivalent of Charlie Sheen having a breakdown. I knew about Kim Kardashian getting married - and then getting divorced - and there's no reason I should. I don't have hostility toward Kim Kardashian - just toward the people who take that stuff seriously.”
“Sometimes the wheels just fall off a relationship.”
“Certainly, shows like 'Black Mirror' helped me. I should send them a fruit basket.”
“I think, the first movie I saw that made me go, 'How did they do that?' was 'Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster.'”
“I actually believe that the basis of a good relationship isn't liking the same things, it's hating the same things.”
“I'm not really trying to reach a big mass of an audience. My movies are done for a tiny, tiny budget, and that affords me to make them more personal.”
“I've probably done myself a disservice as a brand because the movies I've made. They've all been completely different.”
“Marketing movies is hard.”
“I'm making movies about people as flawed as myself and the viewers. So if you just have a reptilian brain and live your life simply by reacting to things, my movies aren't going to work for you.”
“I like genre films.”
“I'm a weird mixture of being cynical but at the same time wanting to live in a world where Bigfoot lives.”
“Trust me: I entertain Joe Six-Pack 30 weekends a year. I don't really think that I'm an elitist.”
“I have an aversion to comedy where everybody speaks in punchlines.”
“When I get to make a movie, I really try to make it on my own terms.”
“At the same time most people were getting out of college, I was offered a buttload of cash to star in a movie. I don't think most students would have said no.”
“In genre movies, you usually not only hate the characters, you sometimes hate them so much that you hate the actors playing them.”
