I'm trying to tell a story and do it truthfully.

Scary is time passing and sickness and dying and regret and isolation and loneliness and relationship problems - as opposed to a guy in a hockey mask, which didn't seem that scary.

There are things that aren't represented in movies that are a big part of everyone's life. This is a movie about health and about the body.

Writing is a journey into the unknown.

I do like escapism. I like going to the movies on a Friday night and seeing something fun.

Sand is overrated. It's just tiny little rocks.

Yeah, once we decided to use that replacement animation, and the seams are a function of that animation, and other movies paint those out, we decided we wanted to keep the presence of the animation and the type of animation that it was rather than make it look polished. It created a kind of vulnerability, I think.
