Quotes
"I don't think [the movie Requiem for a
Dream] is for children, but I think if you went home and looked at the
video games that your kids are playing, you'd be much more shocked."
"My coolest job was when I was 12 and I was
a dishwasher at the Three Pigs Bar-B-Que for $2.50 an hour. All the
fleabags and stoners worked there, so that's where I wanted to be." -
Detour, November 1996.
"High school is a dark place; I hung out
with 'freaks.'"
