“I have a habit of recording records very quickly – and not in a haphazardly way, not in a way where I’m not focused on details, because I’m a freak when it comes to that.”

When you go in and do a cool, small character, it feels less like work and more like fun.

I like to challenge myself and give myself a timeline. It pushes me to be more creative and actually do these things, not just dream about them.

Hearing the record and seeing the response is affirming that it was the right time and right choice.

I didn’t do the typical things that young kids do.

My tendency is to be the guy in the back, even though I often end up being the guy in the front.

Nobody believes it, but I slept on a futon till I was 13.

Even in my darkest times I knew I had a good future ahead of me.

But I’ve consistently worked for 10 years.

My mom just understands about stuff. We have a really good trust, and she knows I can take care of myself.

My parents were hippies.

Even the great bad guys in cinema history, they’re likable.

I think some people are on a mission to die, and I never was.

It’s not easy starting a label and putting out your own records. It’s required me at times to humble myself and really push and work hard to try to give this the best shot. I really want to share this with the world.

The big things I’ve had are things I bought myself.

My theory is, independent movies only work if you’re willing to push the material and do something different.

we live; we feel; we hurt. the world makes no exceptions.

I generally leave the details of fiscal programs to the Administration and Congress. That’s really their area of authority and responsibility, and I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to second guess.

[Scott Derrickson] is terrific, really sharp on the details, and he’s not afraid to go to dark places.

Transparency and detail are everything in science.

I don’t know why people are so keen to put the details of their private life in public; they forget that invisibility is a superpower.

One must be entirely sensitive to the structure of the material that one is handling. One must yield to it in tiny details of execution, perhaps the handling of the surface or grain, and one must master it as a whole.

I don’t have to figure out why or how or when. God has a plan, and I’m committed to it. That commitment frees me from having to worry about the details.

Every new discovery in science brings with it a host of new problems, just as the invention of the automobile brought with it gas stations, roads, garages, mechanics, and a thousand other subsidiary details.

If they are, they can fill in the details even better than I could, just with their imaginations.
