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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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