Failure is success training.

I say what other people won't.

Stoners are cute; junkies are sad.

Is man, indeed, a walrus at heart?

In Hollywood you just fail upwards.

In Hollywood you kind of fail upwards

Indie film isn't dead, it just grew up.

I'm not even supposed to be here today.

Indie film isn’t dead. It just grew up.

In my spare time, I smoke acres of weed.

I liked hockey, and I still like hockey.

It takes nothing to encourage an artist.

If you grow up fat, you have to try harder.

One man's frankness is another man's vulgarity.

Why do my movies make people feel so dead inside?

Don't go where the puck's been; go where it's gonna be

Why take life seriously? No one gets out alive anyways.

We love dirty oral on the Down Low, but no going steady.

Dudes know I'm not a threat. Chicks know I'm not a threat.

Oh, I'm online all the time now. I'm not an outdoorsy type.

In this life, if you don't celebrate yourself, nobody will.

If there was no Internet, my career would have ended in 1995.

My job is to say, 'This is how I see the world. Do you agree?'

When you're an artist, all you're trying to do is self-express.

If you're lucky, you go from being a movie fan to a movie maker.

Any book is a self-help guide if you can take something from it.

When you're a filmmaker you're part of a very expensive art form.

I'm always cribbing from real life. I'm not a very creative filmmaker.

Generally, I wake up, honestly it's creepy, but I wake up around 4:20.

I really would love to play a hannibal lector or PSYCO type character.

And George Carlin was a guy that the more he aged the younger he seemed.

Long time no see. I only pray the caliber of your questions has improved.

People tend to romanticize this job. So, it's fun to let the air out of it.

Live a "Why not?" life, man. Take the shot. The shot is always worth taking.

With what you don't know about me, I could just about fill the Grand Canyon.

AZRAEL: No pleasure, no rapture, no exquisite sin greater... than central air.

Sometimes the path you're on is not as important as the direction you're heading.

Controversial' as we all know, is often a euphemism for 'interesting and intelligent.

All these people who say success changes people; well, no, it just magnifies what's there.

People wanted more advice. So I finally thought I could totally put this advice into a book.

It's like a dream come true. When somebody is paying you to talk about yourself, you've won.

I didn't get into film to win Academy Awards. I wanted to have a conversation with the audience.

I try never to worry in general. Worry is interest paid in advance on a debt that never comes due.

I've always kind of ripped from real life to some degree or at least how I'm feeling in the moment.

It's taken me 15 years to step behind a camera and make something everyone agrees looks like a movie.

It's silly that anyone in this world tells you that there are only certain people that can marry you.

Everybody's got one killer story. It doesn't take talent to tell that story, it just takes experience.

It's kind of debatable whether or not the advertisement model is effective. Like whether Nielsen works.

So I know how I watch movies which is on my laptop, man. And that's how I suspect a lot of people do it.

I sympathize far more with heavier people than I ever will with thin. I'll never be thin. Let's be honest.
