The way I write is very much without kind of a goal. I have something I'm interested in and then I decide I'm going to explore it. I don't know where the characters are going to go, I don't know what the movie is going to do or what the screenplay is going to do. For me, that's the way to keep it alive.

If you ever got me, you wouldn't have a clue what to do with me.

Directing was a big learning experience for me because I had to deal with every aspect of everything-all this constant decision-making, with people asking you questions at every moment, and you have to have answers for them all.

I think if something resonates, even if it's surreal, it's because it is relatable and I think that that's a core issue for me.

Every day of your life, you have information that enters your head, and that information informs your understanding of things, or shifts it, or changes it, or deepens it, or confuses you. Every day, every moment of every day - it's like this thing that happens.

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

I've had to deal, a lot, with my own sense of intimidation at meeting famous people - especially actors, but really any famous people.
