Directing is a more pragmatic experience, where you have to deal with the restrictions of time and money that force you to make certain decisions you don't have to make when you're writing.

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 really don't have any solutions and I don't like movies that do.

I do have some theatrical background. I've written plays and seen plays and read plays. But I also read novels. One thing I don't read is screenplays.

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

And so not only do you have to make that work, you can't really start putting the thing together in any form because some of the shots are very short and obviously many of them take so long, you're waiting months and months and months before you can see if it's going to be working emotionally.

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.
