"Its its own form of cinema, its its own entity. I think Chekhov would like Before Sunset because its all about nuance. Any decent screen-writing school would throw that script out. Theres no beginning, middle and end, its completely fluid, just chasing the nuance of life, and kind of believing whatever God is lives in this kind of energy that flows between all of us. I kind of live for that, for that chance that you might get another opportunity to be a part of something like that."

"Writing the book (The Hottest State) had to do with dropping out of college, and with being an actor. I didnt want my whole life to go by and not do anything but recite lines. I wanted to try making something else. It was definitely the scariest thing I ever did. And a huge learning experience about how not everybodys going to like you, or like what you do. And you have to ask yourself, is it worthwhile? Or am I just doing it to be liked? And it was just one of the best things I ever did. The second book (Ash Wednesday) was so much more fun because of that. The first was just a novelty act, like, The kid from Reality Bites wrote a book? Who does he think he is? And I understand that."
