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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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