I'm one of those people who is actually inspired by a deadline. I might not sleep for many days on end, it may not be good for my health, but it definitely helps.

In mainstream romantic comedies, I'm usually tearing my hair out. It's just a devastatingly difficult genre for me.

I don't personally see my work as being dark. What interests me is a balance between light and dark.

Connection is what one is after in probably most media, but certainly in film, which is an immersive medium.

When the systems we expect to help us actually hurt us, we have tragedy.

I don't generally find myself listening to the music of a film unless there's something awfully wrong with it.

I had piano lessons when I was a kid, like most people. And hated them, like most people. And quit, like most people.
