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

Shooting videos with lots of effects is like shooting a bunch of puzzle pieces.

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.

Obviously the actors are incredible at being the audience surrogates in this crazy universe.

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

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.
