I love coffee. I love a midday espresso on set, just for the energy.

I'm always trying to encourage people not to limit themselves in the same way that many of our parents stayed with one job forever.

We brainstorm an idea and then we do flesh it out a little bit - we come up with a script, mostly to have beats and a sense of a story and a narrative arc. Often when we get into the space and onto the location, that changes and something we discover in the moment becomes the moment, becomes the story, becomes the character.

If you always want to look relevant, just be CGI-prepared.

I'm all about being prudent. And I've started to appreciate experiences more than actual objects.

I have no desire to play music unless I need music.

After Sleater-Kinney broke up in 2006 I had very little desire to play music. It took well over three years before picking up a guitar meant anything to me other than an exercise.
