A whole film is just about arriving at a moment where you hopefully transfer some feeling to the audience.

I think we're scared of intimacy - all of us, a little bit.

We put limitations on the way that we think about things, on ourselves, think about all the boxes we live in, male or female, you're this age, that age, this is your job, this is not your job, everything is about getting boxed in. I think we accept a lot of those boxes, that labeling, and the way that we perceive the world, but what even is perception? It all seems pretty flexible to me.

I feel like success to me is about feeling like I have done something in storytelling, where I've gotten close to articulating something intangible that I'm feeling, and I think I get closer every time, but I don't know that I've done that yet.

I wasn't actually very naturally good at economics. My brain doesn't work very well, in terms of mathematics.

Maybe the best definition of what a great partnership or great love is when people make each other grow in a better direction than they would have grown on their own.

The more time you invest in something, potentially, the deeper the emotional impact of the climax. It's true of relationships, too.
