I Had Not Spent A Ton Of

To Me Donnie Darko Was About Adolescence. And About How, As Soon As You Start To Grow Up And You Sort Of Move Out Into The World, You Realize Everything Is So Trippy. That Anything Can Be Anything.

What Made Me Most Courageous Was That I Realized I Had To Try To Let Go Of That Stereotype I Had In My Mind, That Bit Of Homophobia, And Try For A Second To Be Vulnerable And Sensitive. It Was F**kin' Hard, Man. I Succeeded Only For Milliseconds.

I'm A Very Political Person, And I Make Political Choices In My Movies.

I Had Not Spent A Ton Of Time Around Animals As A Kid.

I Promise That, One Day, Everything's Going To Be Better For You.
