I feel like I want to keep moving toward idiosyncracy. Personal, personal, personal.

I think that people have expectations of themselves and other people that are based on these fictions that are presented to them as the way human life and relationships could be, in some sort of weird, ideal world, but they never are. So you're constantly being shown this garbage and you can't get there.

I like for people to figure things out for themselves. It's not like I have the right answer, but if I have a visceral reaction to something, I'm sure that other people will, too.

You and I share the same DNA. Is there anything more lonely than that?

The end is built into the beginning.

I don't think screenwriting is therapeutic. It's actually really, really hard for me. It's not an enjoyable process.

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