I don't think the world objectively exists the way we think it exists. There's a constant sort of storytelling process.

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

I like actors - I used to be one.

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

I don't write genre stuff in any form. I'm not interested in it. I always try to do the opposite of that.

I just try to be honest, because I think that's part of my job description as a writer.

I do a lot of things intuitively. I'm not often consciously aware of what I'm doing. It's like in a dream: There's something going on that's powerful but you don't know exactly why.
