I love working with actors. I love visual things. I always intended to be a writer who directs and a director who writes.

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 like actors - I used to be one.

When I'm writing, I'm trying to immerse myself in the chaos of an emotional experience, rather than separate myself from it and look back at it from a distance with clarity and tell it as a story. Because that's how life is lived, you know?

The conventional wisdom is - people say this all the time - you should only write something when you're far enough away from it that you can have a perspective. But that's not true. That's a story that you're telling. The truth of it is here, right now. It's the only truth that we ever know. And I'm interested in that truth and the confusion being part of the experience and sorting it your way through and figuring it out.

I have ideas written down some places, but usually I can't find them. I'm not very organized.

Meet me in Montauk.
