I long for a kind of quiet where I can just drift and dream. I always say getting inspiration is like fishing. If you're quiet and sitting there and you have the right bait, you're going to catch a fish eventually. Ideas are sort of like that. You never know when they're going to hit you.

Intuition is the key to everything, in painting, filmmaking, business - everything.

It’s better not to know so much about what things mean or how they might be interpreted or you’ll be too afraid to let things keep happening.

In Hollywood, more often than not, they're making more kind of traditional films, stories that are understood by people. And the entire story is understood. And they become worried if even for one small moment something happens that is not understood by everyone.

The concept of absurdity is something I'm attracted to.

I always say that intuition is the number one tool for an artist.

Desire for an idea is like bait. When you're fishing, you have to have patience. You bait your hook, and then you wait. The desire is the bait that pulls those fish in-those ideas.
