There are so many people who are making movies now who can’t get any kind of distribution, so the market seems like it’s flooded.

I have a tendency to hire people who tend to be unattractive to the studios. Maybe this is a bad idea.

Sometimes I don't like the books that I'm reading.

I think dreams are metaphors. Everything you do in writing is metaphorical. So it seems like the same arena to me.

I often have a theme in mind when I'm starting. I know that I want everything to be in a world of, say, evolution, or guilt.

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

I studied acting at Boston University. I was in the theater department there. Somewhere in there I decided that wasn't what I was going to do and I went to the B.F.A. film program at N.Y.U.
