If I'm hesitant at all about an idea, then that's not the right idea.

When I was a kid, I had two great guilty pleasures. One was horror movies and the other was martial arts movies.

Basically, when I'm writing something, I think about what is the subject of the piece. The subject of the piece is our fear of getting old, which is a variation on our fear of dying.

I like to write in a shroud of secrecy because I have to keep finding ways to scare myself.

I'm super confident about creative stuff, and I'm really not confident about human interactions stuff.

I consider myself an independent filmmaker.

I love stage actors. The pool of world class actors that have done theater [is big], there's a higher opportunity of grabbing somebody from that pool.
