I had no intention of pursuing either the characters or the setting further.

Yeah, what happened was Universal wanted one of the characters to be nice so they chose me so there was a scene where the girl was tied to the bed and I let her go.

I was desperate really for people not to accuse me of coldness. It was taboo.

I was so worried that people wouldn't like me or my story.

I did try to get a few of those teen high-school movies, but they just didn't like me. I guess I wasn't a certain type.

I was just standing around and suddenly I was cast as an extra. I hated it because I was so shy.

I certainly didn't want to date. I was through with guys.

Always when I directed the play, I was always trying to cast people not who were necessarily like the characters, but people who I felt had the essential component that the character had, some kind of soul for it.

I get more people approaching me about how good I was in 'Napoleon Dynamite' than being in Coldplay.
