If you're alive, kick into drive. Chase whimsies. See if you can turn dreams into a way to make a living, if not an entire way of life.

People like to set the bar high. I like to put the bar on the ground and barely step over it. I like to keep the expectations really low.

Remember: It costs nothing to encourage an artist, and the potential benefits are staggering. A pat on the back to an artist now could one day result in your favorite film, or the cartoon you love to get stoned watching, or the song that saves your life. Discourage an artist, you get absolutely nothing in return, ever.

People have been telling me I'm a failure and that I'm doing it all wrong for 20 years now. Never trust anybody when they tell you how your story goes. You know your story. You write your own story.

For years, my job was to make the movie inexpensively. And I could bring it in. What I can't control are the costs of marketing.

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