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

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

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

As I'm writing, I start to see connections, and themes I didn't see, and that sparks other things. So then I go back and rewrite things or alter them. It's a combination of intuition and a lot of finessing. It becomes a combination of the rational and the irrational.

I choose to write characters from the inside because I feel like that's the way I'm gonna get the most honest version of them.

As a kid, I had a background in theater.

I want to do my own thing, and I'm trying to get closer to realizing that as a filmmaker.
