I don't like the idea of competition - maybe because I kept losing them when I was a kid. Maybe it's better to be the one who loses?

There is an amount of abstraction in my movies, and sometimes they don't really understand it until the film is finished.

At school I was very shy. I wasn't funny really.

I kind of like the idea of taking a concept and going all the way with it, even if it's not completely plausible. It's something that I like about making movies. You have a concept that maybe would not work in real life, but you can make it work in the world you're creating.

You don't watch home movie for the technique, you watch because it's reminiscing on good moments you spent with your friends. It reflects you. It belongs to you. So I was thinking people could, instead of spending their money to go and see a blockbuster, make their own movies. Collect the money and make a new one every week. I thought it would be nice to create a world that makes this construct possible.

I'm part of the consumer culture... I'm just using the space I am given to express something that is out of the space so I'm part of the consumer system but I'm advocating stepping out. Which is a contradiction but I could be part of he consumer system and say, 'let's consume even more.'

I read about some movie where they did everything on blue screen, and the actors were not even connecting to each other.
