I Sympathize Far More With Heavier People

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.

It's Not Like Someday My Kid's Gonna Be Standing Over My Grave, And Somebody's Gonna Hang Her A Folded Flag And Say, "you Know What? This Is 'cause He Did 24 Hours Straight On Twitter." But It's Just One Of Those Little Personal Victories, Like, "i Wonder If I Can Do This." And I Did It. A Stupid Goal, But I Accomplished It. Life's All About...for Me, At Least...having Very Stupid Achievable Goals. That Way, You Always Feel Like A Winner.

I Think It's Better To Have Ideas. You Can Change An Idea. Changing A Belief Is Trickier. Life Should Malleable And Progressive; Working From Idea To Idea Permits That. Beliefs Anchor You To Certain Points And Limit Growth; New Ideas Can't Generate. Life Becomes Stagnant.

My Father Taught Me To Weigh My Words Carefully, And Speak Up Only When I Had Something Insightful To Add To The Proceedings, Or Something Really Funny To Say. He Also Taught Me That If I Couldn’t Be That Kind Of Guy In Real Life, That I Could Earn A Healthy Living Pretending To Be That Guy In The Movies – Particularly When Paired Up With A Long Haired Stoner.

I'm Always Cribbing From Real Life. I'm Not A Very Creative Filmmaker.
