I've got the luxury of being able to work largely alone, so I don't need to communicate difficult creative classeas to other people and can leave the whole thing in my head or on scattered notes and sketches that only I need to understand. So I can very radically and quickly change things as I go without tripping anybody else up. And the camera allows me to experiment and try new things on the fly.

I think some of this just feels right. You're in the shower and you come up with a sentence and it's beautiful. You don't know how it's going to fit in the film, but you put it in because it feels right. This is a very long way of saying, so much of it is me feeling like I'm catching ideas rather than coming up with ideas. It's very fluid like that.

Time travel is a thing. It can be very dangerous, and it's also very - it's an expensive thing to do.

No matter what decade science fiction comes from, it's representing the present.

When you get questions that annoy you the art is answering them differently. If you're bored with it, then everyone will be bored with it.
