I try to write 'and it's all very funny' after each scene description so that the reader can imagine the movie in their head.

There's something really vulnerable about playing something that you like for someone. You don't know what their reaction will be.

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

I'm a huge proponent of therapy and analysis, but it's something that, in a nonprofessional way, can be abused.

I don't agree with the idea that my characters are unlikeable.

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

When I make a movie, I have both a specific and vague, amorphous dream idea of what the movie is going to be. Of course, I don't actually know what it's going to be, but I'm still striving to get to some place with it.
