There is a strong tendency to get used to and accept very bad things that would be shocking if seen with fresh eyes.

I think that as you get older, you become aware of everything that could go wrong.

Whenever something good happens to me, it's usually followed by something terrible.

When I was 15, I never thought I'd live to see 21. And then I became 21, and I'm like, 'I'll never live to see 30.'

When you reach a certain age, and people see you on television, they look at you and think, 'Wow! Everything must be great!' Well, everything isn't always great. You can be hailed on the street corner, but you still have to go home and take out the garbage.

I knew people were going to see me see deteriorate before their eyes.

I'm aging, and the world is seeing it.

Usually when I see myself in a film or on television, there's about a six-month period where I can't look at it because all I'll see are the mistakes. I'm just appalled by the person that I see.

Sometimes people only see horrible, terrible things in my paintings.

I am just pitifully nostalgic. I can't help but roll my eyes at myself frequently. I mean, I still shoot black-and-white film. And I am constantly reminiscing about the 'good old days.' I'm 28 years old. There haven't even been that many 'good old days.' But still, I love to look back.
