I grew up in a pretty gay world - my brother's gay and he's been married to a man for 20 years, which is like 60 in straight-people years.
From Kevin Smith
I know what it feels like to carry a lot of weight in a society that's very image-conscious. It's a thin person's world, and we try to navigate within it without being made fun of.
It's taken me 15 years to step behind a camera and make something everyone agrees looks like a movie.
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.'
The writer crafts their ideal world. In my world, everyone has really long conversations or just picks apart pop culture to death and everyone talks in monologue.
The only thing of value I have in this life is my ability to tell a story, whether in print, orating, writing it down or having people acting it out. That's why I'm always hoping society never collapses because the first ones to go will be entertainers.
Indie film isn't dead, it just grew up.
I sympathize far more with heavier people than I ever will with thin. I'll never be thin. Let's be honest.
It's silly that anyone in this world tells you that there are only certain people that can marry you.
In Hollywood you just fail upwards.
