I'm a gay man of colour.

I thought 'Gone Baby Gone' was really modern in showing a couple going on an adventure.

It's so hard to shoot wealth. It doesn't show up on film.

If you really want to have an anarchist experience, make a movie with a studio.

It's awesome to be part of a gay family.

You think it's so cool to have movie stars in your movie, but they become people.

I do sound a little hippie-dippy, but it works for me. Just kind of starting my day with an attitude of gratitude.

From a person whose living depends on other people buying her creative work, this may sound odd, but one of my favorite things about the steampunk subculture is its do-it-yourself attitude.

I mean, the shoe - there is a music to it, there is attitude, there is sound, it's a movement. Clothes - it's a different story. There are a million things I'd rather do before designing clothes: directing, landscaping.

The beauty of a Stradivarius is that you can play in Carnegie Hall without any amplification, and it has this - the sound has, inside it, has something that projects, and it has multifaceted sound, something that kind of gets lost when you use amplification anyway.

I threw my son, Brandon, a rave for his birthday and I fully set it up like a crazy rave with lights and sound, me and my partner DJ'd - I got Mix Master Mike from the Beastie Boys to come DJ for a bit.

When the woodpecker is searching for food, or laying siege to some hidden grub, the sound of his hammer is dead or muffled and is heard but a few yards. It is only upon dry, seasoned timber, freed of its bark, that he beats his reveille to spring and wooes his mate.
