I think America is just so in love with conflict.

Only through destroying myself can I discover the greater power of my spirit.
drama character idiot
I really love idiot, enlightened characters - these characters who fail to engage with the drama of their immediate circumstances; they fail to be reactive and enrolled by drama as it happens around them.
moving thinking jumping
I like to get people moving and jumping. I think it's good to add more emotion and chaos.

More and more, it feels like I'm doing a really bad impersonation of myself.

You are not a beautiful, unique snowflake... This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time.
love thinking blood
No matter how much you think you love somebody, you'll step back when the pool of their blood edges up too close.
coping-mechanisms giving literature
Give me rampant intellectualism as a coping mechanism.

Why is it you feel like a dope if you laugh alone, but that's usually how you end up crying?
funny thinking literature
It's funny how you never think about the women you've had. It's always the ones who get away that you can't forget.

A minute of perfection was worth the effort. A moment was the most you could ever expect from perfection.
character boring scene
The most boring scenes are the scenes where a character is alone.
always-trying touching heartbreaking
I'm always trying to reach a transcendent point, a romantic point, but reach it in a really unconventional way, a really profane way. To get to that romantic, touching, heartbreaking place, but through a lot of acts of profanity.
issues people together
People have to deal with their issues together; they have to expose themselves and kind of exhaust themselves.
