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.

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'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 have a really, really hard time sitting down and watching a TV show, except I'm apparently willing to watch the same episode of 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,' like, seven times.

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

I am a control freak but it's important to feel strongly about the material you're working on.

I got a degree in math, from not a good school in Texas, and then I went to work as a software engineer. Just not glamorous at all.
