I want to find myself in the other, and the point of it is that there is no other; it is you. That's the deepest connection you can make in art.

I think the worst thing in the world is to take yourself too literally.

If the artist isn't going to be honest, who is going to be honest?

I have a dog who looks like a pig and would look at him and think: "You know? I can not eat pig anymore." And besides, is my dog really all that different from a pig on a factory farm? They both have their own lives and big personalities, and most importantly, the same capacity to feel pain. Once I made the connection, animal suffering became something I could not ignore. So if you have ever loved a cat or a dog, or even a human, I hope you will extend your compassion to include all animals. I am Mike White and I am a vegan.

[on Chuck & Buck (2000)] The original nugget came from a scene earlier in the film where my character Buck grabs Chuck's balls. I thought it would be a real uncomfortable thing to start a movie off with a scene of a guy grabbing another guy's dick. Totally unrepentantly. Not like in your typical Dumb-and-Dumber-type comedy or an earnest gay movie. From that idea, I started to ask myself "What situation would lead to this?".
