Making a movie is a weird combination of planning and the absolutely unexpected.

But actually, I'm planning on moving to New York this year and I can tell you one reason why I think New York is incredible: I think things happen to you that you don't expect have happen to you.

Writing is like building a bridge while you're on it. If you step forward you fall off and there's nothing in front of you.

I often wonder, Is it worth waiting only for things you think are going to be truly great, or is that a pretentious attitude to take?

In a city where you walk around, it's impossible to plan your day and your life as accidents will happen, you'll overhear things, bump into people, and take unexpected turns.

I've never invested myself properly in trying to write stories. When I write lyrics, mostly I write each sentence separately on an index card and then I lay them out and I just mix them up.

Whereas I think in New York every step is a detour in every direction.
