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

Adaptations are fun for me because they connect to the idea of filmmaking I had when I was a kid. I would see a movie and think: 'I'm gonna make that movie.'

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.

Wes Anderson's films, 6-year-olds are crazy about them.

I'm always looking for overlooked post-Dylan singer-songwriter records from the '70s.

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

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