Art is not an object, but a trigger for experience.

Look closely at the most embarrassing details, and amplify them.

Agressive music can only shock you once. Afterwards its impact declines. It's inevitable.

Something I’ve realized lately, to my shock, is that I am an optimist, in that I think humans are almost infinitely capable of self-change and self-modification, and that we really can build the future that we want if we’re smart about it.

I think it's a myth that American public or any other public is so stupid that they need to be constantly pricked.

I see TV as a picture medium rather than a narrative medium.

Things that are very popular are not taken seriously, because the snobbish side of one says, "Well, if everyone likes it it can't be that good." Whereas if only I and a couple of other people like it, then it must be really something special.
