I have always wanted to be either a cinematographer or a veterinarian.

We lost so many talented artists and writers from the generations before ours that we're really lacking older figureheads.

You find when you're writing a detective story that you're actually not trying to solve anything. You're trying to stop the reader from solving the puzzle.

Looking back, [R.E.M.]videos, by in large, have always been art films. I'm thinking of "Losing My Religion." That's a landmark piece.

I don't think secrets are a bad thing. I think there's this idea that everything needs to be transparent in order for it to be free.

When you create a fence, you keep people out, but you also limit your mobility.

If you've been in the art world for more than eight years, you realize another generation is making the exact same work as the previous generation - but treating it like it's never been done before. It becomes very cyclical very quickly.
