I had an obsession that I was male characters from movies.

I like doing movies that relate to people's experience.

I always wanted to get into the horror genre. I like scary movies. I want to go to the fan shows and sign posters with my head hanging by a thread like a B-movie actress.

When I do a character, I try to base it on someone I have met or an experience I've had.

I loved the idea of the Nerd as Hero, which Ghost World also had.

I wore a lot of vintage clothing. I dressed like a reporter, with a little card in my hat. I had these fantasies of who I wanted to be, so I'd dress like an explorer, a cowboy. I dressed up like Elton John a lot too. That was another period.
