When something is beautiful in math, everything is just perfectly lined up, and you see through sheer thought that something really beautiful can take place.

Pierrot le Fou is something I keep coming back to. Its so surreal but still really engaging - it proves narratives within narratives are a landscape that can be pursued well.

I will be making films, and I'm going to keep working, no matter what I have to do. And I don't plan to ever ask for permission from anybody.

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

I believe that filmmakers have to internalize the story and subtext so well that all of the departments can start to speak to each other - that music can speak to cinematography can speak to writing and back again.

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.

I feel like we want to compartmentalise things and say, 'Well, that's emotional, artistic and subjective, while this is intellectual, objective and measured.' I have difficulty thinking that's the way we experience things.
