name
My name is Very F**king Confused; what's your name?
butter covered crap gang peanut
I don't give a crap if you covered yourself in peanut butter and had a 15 hooker gang bang!
help oh
Help! Someone help me! Is someone there? Hey! Oh sh*t, I'm probably dead.
broke girlfriend last punk vegan
My last girlfriend was a feminist, vegan punk who broke up with me because she thought I was too angry.
fun
This is the most fun I've had without lubricant.
actual apartment bed woke
I went to bed in my sh*thole apartment and I woke up in an actual sh*thole.
morning writing acting
What I love about writing is that you don't need anyone's permission to do it. You can just get up in the morning, grab a pad and pen and start writing. With acting you're really beholden to everyone else.
jobs people waiting
The problem with acting is that there's really no control. You're at the behest of others. Everyone else decides if you did a good job and you have to wait for other people's permission to work as an actor.
scary comedy horror
Horror films are very functional like comedies. The main thing with a comedy, the big question is "is it funny?" And with horror the question is "is it scary?"
sweet laughter laughing
I love watching audiences scream. I imagine it's the same joy that a director feels who has made a comedy when he or she is sitting at the back of a theater listening to the audience laugh. That sound of laughter is so sweet to a comedy director and that's exactly how a horror film feels when you hear the audience scream.
