Famous quotes by Michael Pitt:

"I didn't think that it was going to stay in the film, and then I think that it was Thurston Moore's suggestion that it stay in,"

"Because I look up to Kurt and River Phoenix, I've been forewarned, and a lot of the decisions I've made in my career are to counteract my fame."

"It was a dream, ... There's a sense that even when the movie is scripted, a lot of the best things that happen are accidents. It's an environment set up where the accidents can flow."

"I think Gus hopes that you look at a human being, not Kurt Cobain, ... You don't get hung up on the rock `n' roll fantasy, whatever fantasy the audience wants to have about Kurt Cobain as a rock star or rock icon. After watching the film, I thought, strangely, that this had more respect for him."

"I see why people think it is, and sometimes I do. And sometimes I don't think it's selfish. I'm probably an atheist, though I was raised a Catholic - and that whole religion is based on the first suicide, in many ways."

"[Last Days is, loosely, about Kurt Cobain, the lead singer of the rock group Nirvana.] I had a house in the middle of the woods, ... I stayed alone the whole time, and I tried always to be battling with the things I thought the character was battling with - seclusion, drug addiction, severe chronic depression and suicidal tendencies."

"Well, I played a junkie. People have said to me: 'My God, your walk in the movie is just like Kurt's.' But I was just trying to walk like a junkie."

"Movie stars get paid these ridiculous amounts of money - I don't know if they deserve it,"

"You know, people want someone to tell them the answer, ... They want a friend, or a teacher, or a parent - but above all I guess they just want to know. And the truth is you can't tell them, and that's a hard thing to deal with. And it's easy to get wrapped up in the idea that this person knows - that he will tell me what I need to know, what I need to live - because he means a lot to me."

"There are two kinds of directors: There's the kind where two plus two equals four, and you have to help them figure it out. And then there's the kind that throws you in a room, locks the door, sets the house on fire and films it."

"Personally, I'm very classic. If I'm going to wear a suit, it's going to be classic, black, and fit very well. There's nothing like it."

"'Boardwalk' has kind of exposed me to a different demographic. And it upped my skills in terms of the speed with which I can prep a scene, and I'm excited to apply that."

"I think Van Sant is the most important American director we have. He takes the most risks. He's just pure to me."

"It sounds cliche, but success is your friends, your family, what you do, and if you're happy when you wake up."

"A kid now can practically record a song or edit a short film on his way to school. I think that will produce, perhaps, more less-interesting things - or you'll have to search more to find the interesting things. But I also think it's exciting."

"Acting is really scary, but it's also challenging, fun, hard work. There's always an element of improvisation with every actor, even when something is really scripted."

"All these directors who do different locations forget that one room can be shot from a million different angles and a million different ways. When I direct a movie, I'm going to use that."

"I'm doing a record that has a story that runs through all of the songs, and then there is also a film that goes along with it."

"I'm not prejudiced about what type of movies I'm in, what form they take or whether they're studio or independent. I just want to make films that are going to be good. The main reason is not to make money, although at some points it's really difficult when you're broke."

"I don't have a lot of time to surf the net and see what everyone's wearing."
