There are life lessons that can be derived from reality television.

My impulse is to create an aesthetic that's about a humanistic approach to a world and trying to create compassion for all the characters.

I feel like I know how to write plot.

I think living in our culture right now, there's a universal experience where we feel like we become what we do. Sometimes that's rewarding and sometimes that creates an existential crisis.

I find as a viewer, when I go to see comedies, the strain to be funny throughout the whole thing. I start to lose my sense of reality, and it ends up feeling like an empty experience; there's funny stuff in it but I've lost the emotional connection to the characters because it's just so bananas.

As a director or writer, you have to be so controlling.

I used to have a road-rage issue.
