Just write a poem as if you're writing a note to one other person.

When I left Ohio when I was 17 and ended up in New York and realised that not all films had the giant crab monsters in them, it really opened up a lot of things for me.

The beauty of life is in small details, not in big events.

I think you can only be nostalgic for something you've lost.

I'd wanted to be a writer and when I came back to New York worked as a musician too, but I found my writing starting to get more and more referential to cinema.

As soon as you start making a film that's expensive then the studio wants total control over all elements of it because they want to get all their money back. If you make a smaller film you can try a lot more things because you can have control over it and not just be a hired director. The lower the budget the more freedom you have.

Good acting is about reacting, not tryingto express something, but reacting to a situation as the character.I don't like acting acting.
