I always liked strange characters.

I can't remember any dreams in my life. There's so much strange in real life that it often seems like a dream.

It's good as an artist to always remember to see things in a new, weird way.

Anybody with artistic ambitions is always trying to reconnect with the way they saw things as a child.

I've often been accused of, 'Oh the movies looked good but there's no story,' but I disagree with that in theory, and '9' is a perfect example for me because the feel, the texture, and the look of that world, and those characters, is the story. That's a major component of why you feel the way you do when you're watching it.

I've always been misrepresented. You know, I could dress in a clown costume and laugh with the happy people but they'd still say I'm a dark personality.
