QUOTES:

“I don’t think Requiem for a Dream (2000) 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.” – Mr. Showbiz, November 2000.

All those reports that I sleep in my closet. I don’t know how people get that. People are so obsessed with what you do at home.

I could care less about anybody knowing who I am, but I realize this is part of the game. Maybe if I really hated this whole public thing, I would go do plays in Hoboken.

I was never interested in ‘Teen Beat’ like roles. I just wanted to work.

I was raised around a lot of artists, musicians, photographers, painters and people that were in theater. Just having the art-communal hippie experience as a child, there wasn’t a clear line that was drawn. We celebrated creative experience and creative expression. We didn’t try and curtail it and stunt any of that kind of growth.
