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

I'm curious how people build up the codes that they live their life by, and how they come to think that that's the best way for them to function.

I always viewed life as material for a movie.

When you're around your family, and you have that history and that shared language, you say things you'd be embarrassed to hear quoted back to you later.

It's nice being friends over a period of time with people whose music you like so much, or other filmmakers, seeing people change, go through trials

I read all the time. Sometimes I get asked if I've thought about writing a novel.

I like having associations with locations beyond their meaning for the specific movie.
