I don't want to be thought of as somebody who's spiritually ambiguous, but the reality is there's unknown things happening. I'm not ready to point at what they are or what the reason is, but I know they exist.

I don't read books on how to write screenplays just because I'm stubborn. So it's all sort of made up.

I don't believe that narrative works when it's trying to teach a lesson or speak a factual truth.

When I started writing short stories, I thought I was writing a novel. I had like 60 or 70 pages. And what I realized was that I don't write inner monologue. I don't want to talk about what somebody is thinking or feeling. I wanted to try to show it in an interesting way. And so what I realized was that I was really writing a screenplay.

I've always been anxious about 'Primer.' There's good things about it, but all I've seen for a long time is the flaws.

It's interesting because I don't ever want to ask a better question than I can answer, if that makes sense. I find that frustrating as a viewer. Compelling questions, while not easy, are easier than compelling answers.

I don't spend a lot of time in nature. Probably less than most people that live in urban Texas.
