I hear filmmakers saying, 'I wanted to make to make a film about this issue, or this theme,' but I never start like that.

I can't remember why or how I started writing, but I think it was always a way of making sense of the world.

Films are all about decisions, and that's what I love.

I am obsessed with why people turn out the way they are.

America is a huge country, of course. It's complicated. There's good, and there's not so good, and that's the same wherever you live.

I just like doing things from my own head.

I don't think estates are grim places.
