I think if something resonates, even if it's surreal, it's because it is relatable and I think that that's a core issue for me.

There really is only one ending to any story. Human life ends in death. Until then, it keeps going and gets complicated and there's loss. Everything involves loss; every relationship ends in one way or another.

I'm not working on anything. I was trying to write something new . . . I guess the goal for me now, at least at this point, is to try to direct again.

I'm not into extreme sports or something. I just live a quiet life.

I don't subscribe to anything. I sit there and I try to think about what seems honest to me.

As I'm writing, I start to see connections, and themes I didn't see, and that sparks other things. So then I go back and rewrite things or alter them. It's a combination of intuition and a lot of finessing. It becomes a combination of the rational and the irrational.

I want to do my own thing, and I'm trying to get closer to realizing that as a filmmaker.
