I try to present something that is true so I don't further destroy the world with my contribution to it.

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.

You're dealing with the body, and you're dealing with bodily functions. We romanticize everything about people in movies.

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

I was trying to figure out what a memory feels like.

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 don't subscribe to anything. I sit there and I try to think about what seems honest to me.
