Slang is a language that rolls up its sleeves, spits on its hands and goes to work.

I found a great book called 'Slang Through the Ages' by Jonathon Green. It's basically a thesaurus of historical slang, and had lots of great old uses.

I think that nerds, if you want to call them that, have only gotten more hip and assimilated into the culture.

I write in American slang.

The British have slang words, as we do, but it was fun.

Like Humpty Dumpty, we can make words mean anything we want them to mean.

That's what hip-hop is: It's sociology and English put to a beat, you know.

With Bound, we wanted to pull at conventions, because you begin to wonder, Why do these stereotypes exist? Where do they come from? You use that as the subtext.

It would be nice to say the rich people, the fancy people, all behaved like bastards and the poor slobs all came through like heroes. But as a matter of fact, sometimes the poor slobs behave like slobs and the great, noble, privileged characters come off very well, indeed.
