I grew up in a house where my mother was a strict Southern Baptist, and my father was a devout Catholic. I grew up as a kid hearing many arguments about religion.

Because of the turmoil, going to Mass was not part of our routine... For me, I'm a work in progress [religiously] and I really feel that I'm on a journey. I have yet to declare myself.





[on Repo Man (1984)] The studio really tried to bury the film. They didn't know what the hell to do with it. It finally got the handling it deserved and found an audience. For some reason, people just take to it.
