I fantasize about having a manual job where I can come home at night, read a book and not feel responsible for what will happen the next day.

Being understood is not the most essential thing in life.

I am the luckiest filmmaker I know.

I like to nap. I do like to sleep. Sometimes I sleep in between takes.

Privacy above all else. Some day, in the future, people will look back and remember how beautiful it once was.

It was a weird moment in my life and a weird experience [doing a theater]. It made me think, "Gee, I don't know if I ever want to do this again." And I love theater. I love going. I love the experience of theater. But I am not sure it's for me.

I saw leaving college as an opportunity to do something different with my life. I always thought that becoming an academic was going to be my path.
