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

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.

Too many things are possible in a dream. It's most interesting when you don't know which space you're in.

A lot of the music video stuff I've worked on is mostly me pitching ideas, and then if [the artists] have notes or thoughts, I'll integrate them into the idea.

People have a natural tendency to read emotions out of faces, so when you see a face that is hyperreal but without the life behind the eyes, it's really off-putting and intriguing.

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

I like the idea of reading into people's faces when they're not emoting. Some people are fascinated, some are sympathizing.
