“There are people I've met in L.A. who kind of only talk about the business. Because maybe they think that's the best move.”
“I've done a pretty good job of curating a Twitter feed that doesn't make me hate the world.”

“There is that great thing of D.C. being Hollywood for ugly people. There's very distinct crossover behaviors.”

“I used to love going to shows and finding new bands, but the Internet takes the fun out of it. Like a band? You can buy and download every single song they have ever done within five minutes.”
“When I was a carpenter, I built sets for small storefront Chicago companies. Like, I built sets for friends of mine at The House Theater.”
