I made two movies very young, and then I had trouble getting a movie made, and so - which was both, I think, a plus and a minus. It was a minus because it made me unhappy.

We expect forty-year-olds to have grown up at some point, and to be engaged and adult and take responsibility, and doing nothing would seem to go against that.

I always wanted to write movies that I'd direct. I didn't come at it from a writing standpoint more than a directing standpoint, except that growing up, I didn't have the opportunity to shoot as much as I did to write.

I've had great experiences or joyful experiences making a movie that people found very disturbing.

It's always really special to be at the New York Film Festival, and always a real privilege.

I'm interested in music as an extension of character.

There are the people who overthink making mix CDs and playlists, and how that works generationally is all really interesting to me.
