My favorite films are the ones that I walk away from and I know I saw a story. I saw the core part of the plot. But if I ever take another look at it then I can see that there was some more stuff going on in there that I didn't realize.

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

All I know is that as an audience member, I am less and less inclined to go to the theater.

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

Filmmaking is a thousand choices a day and it's important to just let those choices potentially be informed by something deeper.

Many of my favorite films, if someone were to tell me simply what they're about, I probably wouldn't be that interested. Plot often has so little to do with what's at the heart of a film.
