At some point, I realized that you don't get a full human life if you try to cut off one end of it; that you need to agree to the entire experience, to the full spectrum of what happens.

As a writer, I have to show complexities. Through my writings, I hope to bring out people in different situations and not just one-dimensional beings.

I don't think there's a morally perfect way to do anything in life, but I'm not a filmmaker who tries to hide my mess.

I'd love to claim that what I have done in my life is of my doing, but it's not of my doing at all. I've blown around in the wind like a mad thing, influenced by this and that - like a piece of paper: like the boy in that scene in 'American Beauty' watching a piece of paper blowing hither and thither.

I'd like to show people that if you put the hard work in and you believe in yourself, then you can do whatever you want to.

Life is what happens when you're doing other things, right?

I want people to understand they have to live their own lives the way they want to and not just do what we do.

Once you commit to something, you've got to commit the whole way. Try and make the best of it.

My goal is to show everyone that they, too, can do what they love to do.

I hope people start to look at their lives as the most powerful, creative act they will ever offer this world.
