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

Science fiction has a way of letting you talk about where we are in the world and letting you be a bit of a pop philosopher without being didactic.

Human beings are flawed and complicated and messy.

People go to the cinema to be moved; they wanna laugh, they wanna cry, they wanna feel something deeply, especially if they're not feeling deeply in their own lives.

Life is beautiful because it doesn't last.

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 think there is a general unrest or curiosity about what a human future is going to be like, and whether the way we're living is even sustainable.
