I think now that I've tried directing, I'm not interested in doing adaptations anymore. I could do an adaptation of someone else's work that I would write, but the idea of taking someone else's material entirely doesn't interest me. One of the things that I found really helpful, at least in my mind - and I've never discussed this with the actors or with the people I work with - is that being a neophyte in directing, I feel like I have a kind of authority simply because I'm the writer as well.

I do like escapism. I like going to the movies on a Friday night and seeing something fun.

I can never watch anything I've been involved in, because I know it, and I know what the making of it was like, and I know what's been cut out and changed. I just know it.

Meet me in Montauk.

I do throw out a lot of ideas, and I forget completely about them.

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

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.
