I think I've always been drawn to the notion of talk as cinematic.

I'm sure I've said some pretty bad pick-up lines.

I find a lot of writing happens when you're not actually at the computer. So I carry a notebook.

I like to have memories of a place. It brings something extra. I'm not even sure what it is. I mean, it's the same part of it as I like using friends in small parts or people I know or my doorman.

I like shooting in New York because I have such a connection to the city. I have so many memories there.

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 guess I'm interested in people who are very sophisticated in intellectual ways, while being completely off the mark in emotional ones, with huge blind spots in terms of their own behavior.
