I am very sincere. Some people are always kidding, so when you're not, it's going to seem annoying to them.

The level of control, that's part of what's so appealing about filmmaking - you have so much control over what the reader, the viewer, is noticing from moment to moment. They can't do that boring boring boring thing as easily.

I think it's more interesting if you go all the way with the world you have, and really look at it, and push it to an even more extreme extreme.

When you're not doing fiction, there's a limit to how much illustrating you can do with your work. I mean, you can do fine. There are great non-fiction writers, but people aren't necessarily going to say anything that reveals them as much as a picture might. Even their surroundings, in lot of cases, the things that meant the most to me were the things I noticed in their houses. I was always looking, as much as I was listening to them. I was looking around for clues as to why I was there.

I wondered if i would spend the rest of my life inventing complicated ways to depress myself.

But, like ivy, we grow where there is room for us.
