The snow itself is lonely or if you prefer self-sufficient. There is no other time when the whole world seems composed of one thing and one thing only.

I always preferred to hang out with the outcasts 'cause they were cooler they had better taste in music for one thing I guess because they had more time to develop one with the lack of social interaction they had!

People talk about mumblecore but I prefer bumblecore hyper-realistic bee movies about how bees really are.

I think being self-referential is really narcissistic. Who's to say anybody's even thinking of you that much? But some of these movies that I've done people still recite lines to me even 20 years later.

My wife and I just prefer Seattle. It's a beautiful city. Great setting. You open your front door in the morning and the air smells like pine and the sea as opposed to bus exhaust.

I wake up early in the morning and walk for an hour. If I have something to write I prefer to write in the morning until midday and in the afternoon I eat.

And if I had a preference it would be to be able to not be in the studio until 4 in the morning.

Sometimes when my mom finds a fun article and really wants me to read it I will. But I prefer to just kind of focus on what I want to do and not really what other people are saying because I don't want that to affect me too much.

I prefer to imagine that my wife a few friends and occasionally my mom are the only ones who read what I do though I realize that this is somewhat unrealistic.

I don't drink and I don't smoke. It's a personal preference. My mom has never drunk or smoked. I look up to my mom.
