I'm a fan of the mythos of Atlanta hip-hop, and it's something I grew up imagining. It was very interesting to get there and see the real version of this world and then reconcile the differences between what's presented as Atlanta hip-hop to the rest of the world and what the real, breathing version of it is.

The way I look at stories is often from far outside, like a god's point of view, and also very, very subjective.

If artists do have ideas, they're often not great.

TV is generally an unfriendly environment for directors because you're expected to come in and tell a story in the voice of the show that already exists, and just fill in the blanks and then submit it back.

Even my nighttime dreams are very, very rooted in reality. They just start to become surreal, little by little.

I like the feeling of keeping people off-balance and having the audience not knowing where I'm coming from or keeping that mysterious.
