And it's not only films, I'm pretty unaware of anything that's going on in popular culture right now.

I'm much more interested in living specific experiences in films.

Like I said about Freaked, people tend to find these films, and I think that in the end the cool thing about a movie is that it can be sort of burnt temporarily, but then it's burnt into the fabric of your culture.

My best experiences with movies have come when I didn't know what to see.

I've watched films and even forgotten I'm in them.

You as an audience can look at these things as films, but I remember them as social experiences.

I had a really generic upbringing, I think, when it comes to viewing movies as a kid. I didn't really know what was out there or what was being tried. I was, like, 'E.T.' and 'Indiana Jones.' Those were the only things I knew existed.

Movies can tell us about our place, or lack of place, in our culture.

Most films, it doesn't matter if you see them or not.
