Building a set is like building a place, but it's a temporary place, because sets usually get torn down. Kind of unfortunate.

I've always loved the electric guitar: to hold it and work it and hear what it does is unreal.

When you get an idea, so many things come in that one moment. You could write the sound of that idea, or the sound of the room it's in. You could write the clothes the character is wearing, what they're saying, how they move, what they look like. Instead of making up, you're actually catching an idea, for a story, characters, place, and mood - all the stuff that comes.

I love child things because there's so much mystery when you're a child. When you're a child, something as simple as a tree doesn't make sense. You see it in the distance and it looks small, but as you go closer, it seems to grow - you haven't got a handle on the rules when you're a child. We think we understand the rules when we become adults but what we really experienced is a narrowing of the imagination.

Absurdity is what I like most in life.

Everybody's got creativity. You just get more of it [when you meditate].

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