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

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

That exact moment when you're about to realize that this might be a dream is my favorite thing.

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.

I love museums, but I always thought there was something funny about a group of strangers silently staring at works of inanimate objects together. Each person is having a very personal and maybe even emotional experience, but it's in the confines of an extremely quiet and sterile room.

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.

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