When You're An Artist, All You're Trying

People Always Ask Me If I Hate The Nuns. Do I Make My Movies Extra Dirty To Piss Them Off? I Always Say No, That's Not The Point. To A Catholic, A Movie Is Only Dirty If It Makes You Want To Have Sex More. If It Makes You Feel Sick, Disgusted, Ashamed Of Your Own Body, Then It's Not A Dirty Movie At All. It's A Catholic Movie. And I Make Very Catholic Movies.

It's Not Like Someday My Kid's Gonna Be Standing Over My Grave, And Somebody's Gonna Hang Her A Folded Flag And Say, "you Know What? This Is 'cause He Did 24 Hours Straight On Twitter." But It's Just One Of Those Little Personal Victories, Like, "i Wonder If I Can Do This." And I Did It. A Stupid Goal, But I Accomplished It. Life's All About...for Me, At Least...having Very Stupid Achievable Goals. That Way, You Always Feel Like A Winner.

There Was Never Any Down Side To Casting Friends Over Professionals. It Was Always Fun Seeing Folks Who Never Performed Before Stretching Their Wings.

Don't Be Afraid To Do Weird Stuff, So Long As You Do It Cheaply And Cover Everyone's Bets. Be Bold. Be Stupid, If You Have To: So Long As You Don't Hurt Anybody, What's It Matter How Dopey Your Dream Is? If I Hadn't Made Tusk? If I'd Let It Die As A Podcast? I Wouldn't Have Three Other Movies I'm Now Making Within The Span Of A Year. Some Folks Will Try To Shame You For Trying Something Outside The Norm; The Only Shame Is In Not Trying To Accomplish Your Dreams.
