Quotes

I never expected the movie to become as big as it has. I thought that we`d be lucky if a handful of people outside of our small group would get to see it. Everyone involved with the making of this film was shocked that all of a sudden, lines from the movie had become lines that people would say to each other in everyday life. None of us expected that.

It`s allowed all of us to do what we were doing before, which was making small movies, but now we get paid for it. It legitimatized all of us after the film became such a success. I`m directing my first feature that I also wrote this spring called `Warm Blue Day.` There are a couple of movies that I`m acting in this fall. I`m also a photographer, and I`ve got three gallery shows left to do this year. And when I`m not doing that, I`m directing commercials.

We were contacted by some reps and asked if we`d be interested in going around to colleges, meeting the fans and answering questions. It`s great to be able to meet so many different fans of the movie. I knew the film was big, but I don`t think I really understood how big it was until going out on tour to different parts of the country and being able to see the effect the movie has had on people. I`ve met fans from the age of three to 78 - it`s awesome.

Jacob extended a nice invitation, and I accepted. I never really thought of the fan side of it. Sometimes the recognition does get old, but I`m proud of that little movie and what it`s done. And I have to play the `I`m Kip` card to get me anywhere.

People are always saying `Dude, he sounds like Kip,` ... That`s because I frickin` played him.

You know, this sounds so random, but I would rent out all the rooms in the Madonna Inn - it`s in San Luis Obispo, California - and have one final bash with all my friends and loved ones.
