It occurred to me that every work of art is a synecdoche, there's no way around it. Every creative work that someone does can only represent an aspect of the whole of something. I can't think of an exception to that.

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 feel like I want to keep moving toward idiosyncracy. Personal, personal, personal.

We try to organize the world, which isn't organized the way our brains want to organize it. We tell stories about the people in our lives, we project ideas onto them. We project relationships with people, we make our lives into stories. I don't think we can avoid doing that.

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

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 trying to tell a story and do it truthfully.
