There are so many reactions to art that make sense to me - but 'ick' means something.

I think breakfast is the one meal when you don't have to eat animal, maybe.

I felt like my parents were always involved with abstraction, and I wanted to do something very specific.

There is no way that my mother hasn't influenced my career. She's my first critic. She's my best critic. She has the best instincts from writing to style to editing, to the visual elements of my career.

The end never comes when you think it will. It's always ten steps past the worst moment, then a weird turn to the left.

Running had always been off the table for me. It just looks embarrassing when I do it. I viewed it like learning a new language - best to learn it as a child.

It was only when I started making short films in college and I was looking for girls to play the me-ish parts that I thought, Well, maybe I'm just going to try doing this myself before somebody else comes in and handles it. For a long time my acting was just a marriage of convenience between me and these characters that I was writing.
