All of William S. Burroughs friends pushed it forward and introduced me to one another. I was able to enter into that beat family for a while and document it.

Slamdance actually is indie and rebellious. Sundance obviously felt threatened.

Sundance claimed to be "rebellious" on all of their programs, but they are not. Most of the movies at Sundance were multi-million dollar pictures that were already guaranteed a theatrical release.

After I got kicked out of CalArts, I moved to Lawrence Kansas where my sister lived. I began working on A William S. Burroughs documentary. I had no idea it would turn into such a big film.

Authors and artists are still afraid of breaking away as far as [William Burroughs] did... And he did it in the 50s!

[Allen] Ginsberg totally helped that out. He was the best sales person. He was the most pop. They are still shocking and relevant, especially [William] Burroughs.

I'm really happy I was kicked out of CalArts (for a controversial art piece I made).

I like documenting people who can break away from the conformist boring world we are stuck in and either live their life in a much more far out way or create art that critiques it well.

[R]eligion arises not out of sacerdotal invention or chicanery, but out of the persistent wonder, fear, insecurity, hopefulness and loneliness of man.

The whole world has the illusory awareness of, ‘I am the doer’. In reality, everyone’s karmas are getting discharged, but one is not aware of this. One has no awareness of his own True Self.

Fear of failure is what fuels me, keeps me on edge and sharp. I'm not as good when I'm comfortable.

Life's too much fun to have it go in just one direction.

My wife said to me: 'If you won the lottery, would you still love me?' I said: 'Of course I would. I'd miss you, but I'd still love you.'

And when thou art weary I'll find thee a bed, Of mosses and flowers to pillow thy head.

It was an easy choice to return with Lotus Renault GP as I have been impressed by the scope of the team's ambition.

Why do you need to brake? Find your place, just be confident, and drive into it.

Now ... that you are going to marry, do not expect more from life, than life will afford.

I don't think you ever understand your life - not till it's finished and probably not then either. The more I live the less I seem to understand.
