I don’t think evil people or negative people are inherently interesting all the time. People who are good people getting better at being themselves - to me, that’s something that’s really interesting to watch.

I really like to travel when I write. Something about seeing new things and being in new cultures and environments provokes new thoughts in your head.

I love watching all sorts of different types of movies, but that doesn't mean they're necessarily movies I want to be making. I'm not sitting around saying, "Man, I'd really love to direct a western." That's just not something I'm probably going to do. But, I'm just looking to work on things that both feel professionally exciting and personally relevant.

I have great people surrounding me and helping me out. I'm totally in love with directing movies and I hope to do more of it.

In college, you're kind of designing who you want to be. And I wanted to be a big reader.

I'll say this, and this has nothing to do with gender or sexuality: You do not want to get licked in the face repeatedly by another human being. You just don't. It's not pleasant.

I think that the mark of a great book is that it will meet you wherever you're at and you'll feel and experience something new and different each time you read it.
