Quotes- On his quirks: "I have this weird thing where I feel exhilarated when I cast things off in my life. Let things go. Even things that are important to me. Sometimes I know I'm making the wrong decision, but I do it anyway. Like, I just lost this watch that really meant a lot to me. I bought it after Bottle Rocket. The first nice thing I ever bought for myself, and I lost it. Yet I have this feeling of being glad it's gone. I don't know why."
Awards- Lone Star Film & Television Awards: Special Award - Debut of the Year, BOTTLE ROCKET (1996)
