You get a kind of surreal feeling and also it allows you to focus on the things we want you to focus on in a new way - the stuff that's very small and mundane that happens in a person's life when they're in a hotel room. There's more interest because you're seeing a puppet do things that you're very familiar with that you might not notice if it was a human doing it.

I actually think I'm probably more interested in structure than most people who write screenplays, because I think about it.

Seriously, I don't consider myself a writer. I don't think I have writing talent. But I will continue to do it.

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

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

I think you just assume that your memory is just sort of a video playback of your experience, but it's nothing like that at all. It's a complete refabrication of an event and a lot of it is made up, because you're filling in spaces.

I'm interested in trying to explore what I think is the truth at a given time in my life, and part of the process of being honest is - in my mind - talking about the idea that you're watching a movie.
