I try to make things interesting and thought-provoking.

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 try when I'm writing to leave enough "space" for people to have their own interpretation, and not to direct it toward one conclusion. Then the audience would not be reacting, because they are being preached to or lectured at. I don't have that much to say that I think people should listen to me.

I really don't have any solutions and I don't like movies that do.

My time on the set is the least of my involvement. Most of my time is in pre-production and post-production.

There are too many ideas and things and people. Too many directions to go. I was starting to believe the reason it matters to care passionately about something, is that it whittles the world down to a more manageable size.

Directing is a more pragmatic experience, where you have to deal with the restrictions of time and money that force you to make certain decisions you don't have to make when you're writing.
