Quote

When I read the book [The Adderall Diaries] I loved it, and I maybe had an inkling that there was a lot of good material in there. I didn't quite know at the time how to adapt it into a film, but I hoped I would figure it out one day.

I have high aspirations. I want to be an architect.

I am actually turned off when I look at an account and don’t see any selfies, because I want to know whom I’m dealing with. In our age of social networking, the selfie is the new way to look someone right in the eye and say, 'Hello, this is me.'

Not having any real direction, one writer would lead me to another.

I've decided I can't really control people's perceptions of me. All I can do is decide on what I work on and how hard I work on it.

We all age. You shouldn't discount it as a subject for a film. Just because the characters are dealing with issues that you might not deal with for another 45 years doesn't mean you won't like it.

I'm an actor, I do movies, and I need to find somebody who enjoys that kind of stuff. It's not like, Oh, I have my work time, and we go on a date, and it better be darn fun and exciting! I think it should all coalesce a bit more.

The first piece of art that I ever bought - when I could afford it - was a Warhol sketch from the period when he was just getting out of doing commercial work and more into art. It's a sketch of a young guy's face. I guess the gallery that I bought it from thought I would like it because the young guy kind of looked like James Dean.

I worked at a McDonald's drive-through. I could always tell when girls were interested: They'd drive around again and say, I forgot something.

The wind came in languid gusts like whispered reminders.

I get to work with incredibly talented young filmmakers and students, and their attitudes and relationship with film is still so pure. That re-inspires me and reminds me why I got into it and what I love about film, and allows me a little reprieve from the business side of it. And it rekindles my love of film.

I get like six or so hours of sleep a night.

You say I sucked at the Oscars. I was a genius at the Oscars. That was experimental tuxedo sleep art.

For some reason, when I was in junior high school, my friends and I had, like, a cologne-stealing ring.

Japanese moe relationships socially dysfunctional men develop deep attachments to body pillows with women painted on them.

There's a large chunk of me in all the parts. As an actor, I got involved largely because I want to let things out. The best acting is that that is most real and the only way to do that, is to genuinely feel it.

The hair is really a way to push me even farther out of just what people know me for. I don't really know what people know me for.

There's no relationship that I find that's closer than a creative relationship.

If you just read the book, you're taking in the narrative, you're taking in the characters, you're understanding it in a certain way. If you make a movie it's really an act of translation.

You are successful if you are able to work on the kind of material that you want to - if your life conforms to your dreams, regardless of outside acceptance or acclaim.

If many people love me, then I must be important.
