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.

Everything is more complicated than you think. You only see a tenth of what is true.

Before you start production, you have characters you have created without actors in mind, then all of a sudden you've got actors. They bring an enormous amount in creating these characters, and creating the dynamics between the characters that you've written.

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

There are too many ideas and things and people. Too many directions to go. I was starting to believe the reason it matters to care passionately about something, is that it whittles the world down to a more manageable size.

And then to see the whole movie, you're pretty much waiting until the end of production. And the major lifting in terms of editing and all that stuff is done before you shoot the movie. That's an unusual way to work.

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