The truth of the matter is, I worry about nearly every bit I've ever done. I'm very critical of myself.

I first met the 'Trailer Park Boys' when they did my web television show, and since then, I've hung out with them a few times.

When my first show was on MTV, and it was this outrageous persona, I think people certainly didn't know what to think. But it was a performance. I'm sure people didn't know that it was a performance; they thought maybe I was just nuts, but that was all intentional.

There is something romantic about the world being a diverse place, where every place has a Starbucks and Denny's.

A film album has these big stars - like a Shah Rukh Khan or a Salman Khan. Independent music videos don't have that luxury, and you cannot feature big stars in all the songs of your album.

Naming a baby is an act of poetry, for many people the only creative moment of their lives.

Whatever you are making, whether it's a song, an album, a painting, a film, you're connecting with a tradition, and I do feel connected to New York music.

An artist's creative energy is ephemeral as a flower. It blooms and soon dies. No artist is great forever. Personally, I think I reached my peak in 2004 when I shot 'Samaria' and '3-Iron'.
