I think generally I'm kind of interested in subjective experience, what goes on inside someone's head, that being all they really know of the world.

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

The biggest thing that I came across, right off the bat, was that you can't shoot this like a regular movie with multiple takes. You have to, because it's such a protracted process, break it down to the frame and pretty much get one shot.

I like titles that are a little difficult, because it's kind of counterintuitive.

You spend most of your time as a director trying to move forward with the movie. It happens on a daily basis, if not more than once a day, that you are struggling with budgetary constraints. Whereas when you're writing, the limitation that you have is your imagination. So it's decidedly non-pragmatic.

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.
