When you're an artist, all you're trying to do is self-express.
The first few films I made didn't look good at all, and I wasn't trying to make them look good. People dig 'em because they like the content.
I know what it feels like to carry a lot of weight in a society that's very image-conscious. It's a thin person's world, and we try to navigate within it without being made fun of.

People wanted answers. We were trying to give them the best answers available at the time.
Im gonna try to pay for CLERKS III myself. As much as I love the crowd-funding model, thats an advancement in indie film that belongs to the next generation of artists. I started on my own dime, and if Im allowed, I should finish on my own dime.
I try never to worry in general. Worry is interest paid in advance on a debt that never comes due.
In the face of such hopelessness as our eventual, unavoidable death, there is little sense in not at least trying to accomplish all of your wildest dreams in life.
