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.

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 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.

Probably the TV show I've watched the most is 'How It's Made' on the History Channel. I could watch 24 hours of 'How It's Made' and never get bored.

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

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 never got into 'MacGyver,' but 'All the President's Men' and 'The Conversation' were big for me.
