We've always been a band who's taken forever to do things. After writing 'Persona' I think we wrote about four songs in three years!

What I'm looking for in my career, you know? You're looking for those lightning bolts of inspiration where someone says something that sparks an idea or suggests something strange.

In a weird way, it's much easier, when I don't have to worry about being a writer, to just worry about the director job, which is really fun.

The most fun characters to work with are characters that are complicated.

The truth is, writing and directing are two very different jobs. They're not even remotely the same job. It took me a while, as a director, to understand that.

Everything I've ever worked on has been hard to classify.

I love superheroes and I love weird horror films... I could definitely feel that there was a lack of movies like The Martian being made: smart genre movies that can appeal to adults.
