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

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.

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

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

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

At the end of the day, if you don't identify with the main characters, no television show will work.

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.
