| Quotes: |
I just graduated from high school, and I was working at Blockbuster. Not only did I get into movies while I was there, but I was putting away boxes and looking at the kids on the covers, it felt like windows into these seemingly perfect lives.
<br />
<hr>
I'll never have a more life-changing year than than this last one (2003-2004). I could win an Oscar and it wouldn't alter my daily life as much as The O.C. (2003) has.
<br />
<hr>
You know how in The Fugitive (1993), when Harrison Ford hears sirens, he'll just subtly steer the other way? I do that when I see groups of teenage girls.
<br />
<hr>
I love movie-making. I'm interested in writing and directing, and I've dabbled, but I haven't done anything I care to brag about. Yet.
<br />
<hr>
I wish I came from a more pure place. I don't have something to say from the bottom of my soul. I just know how to take stuff I like and repackage it in a slightly different way. |
