A big mistake a lot of filmmakers do is they like, "We cut our whole ending to a Rolling Stones song." You better find a new ending then, because unless you have $2 million for that song.

You can't make everyone happy right away, you can't figure out what people want you to do, you just have to do what you want to do and hope it works out.

Great things come out of being hungry and cold. Once you're pampered, you get lazy.

Every cool riff has already been written by Black Sabbath. You're either playing it faster or slower or backwards, but they wrote it first.

White Zombie was a bunch of kids with the worst equipment playing in a basement. But that is what is so great about it. There is no reason to think that you can't do it.

Once you feel like you're being dictated by other people's expectations, it usually backfires.

Things like that become a blur - shot at some soundstage, somewhere - that's as much as I can remember.

The only thing I ever really care about is animals - animal causes. I don't really care about people that much, but animals I feel like they always need to be protected.

When you have too many people and you're trying to satisfy everybody's input, you usually end up with something so incredibly generic that it has no point of view.

I remember, especially like when I was in high school, going to see like Dawn of the Dead and it was like mayhem in the theater and you could barely even watch the movie. It was so fun.

I don't know that I have a fascination with witches per se - well, maybe I just have a fascination with everything that's weird.

Being able to inspire the body is an easy feat, but being able to inspire the soul as well is true talent.

I only live the full life when I live fully in the moment.

Your Worst Enemy Could Be Your Best Friend && Your Best Friend Your Worst Enemy

Stop thinking. I've stopped some 15 years ago. Otherwise, if you will be thinking you won't want to live. Everyone who thinks is unhappy.

We see things as we are, not as they are.

Also, everyone thinks they know Candide - you hear people described as 'Panglossian'. So if Candide appears on a poster, it feels familiar.

The breath of liberty is sweet.

My plate is full with just acting. I want to focus on that, and then maybe direct in the future.

I will not live out of me I will not see with others' eyes My good is good, my evil ill I would be free.

Hoping gets you nothing in life. If you want more in life it’s your job to earn it.
