When I start a movie, there will be certain films that I watch again just because the vibe seems right.

I like to try to shoot in the city in a way that allows the city to go about its business while we're shooting, and that's always a challenge because unfortunately people on the street don't know not to look in the camera or interact with the actors.

I try to procrastinate, if I can, productively, like I'll work on something else as procrastination. Or I take a walk. Because often I find, if you get out, more things come to you.

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

I'm good with a grill. I like to make cheeseburgers - I once read in a David Goodis crime novel that you're only supposed to flip a burger once.

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

I always viewed life as material for a movie.
