When you approach middle age, lots of stuff happens. Your body is aging, you're watching people around you get sick, you're watching people die, your mortality becomes very present at that point in your life.

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

The end is built into the beginning.

I think everything I do is based on my experience in the world in one way or another.

I'm not working on anything. I was trying to write something new . . . I guess the goal for me now, at least at this point, is to try to direct again.

I try to make things interesting and thought-provoking.

I don't think I've had a lonely moment in my life.
