"A meteor hits planet Earth" - that's a story idea but that doesn't give me any indication of what the character is.

I have a friend whose theory is that you're from wherever you went to high school. I think that's mostly true.

When I look around the world and think why is everything working or not working, it's because it's entrenched ideology. You can't solve a problem if you're sitting down with people who say, "All these ideas are off the table because of what I believe."

I find myself in situations a lot where I have to say to someone, "This can be better," and it's hard to say that.

I'm not precious about anything. The effort it took to get something means nothing to me in post.And it means nothing to the audience. I'll chop limbs off. I'll put an arm where a leg should be. I'll do anything.

Your take on things is what is either going to make you somebody people talk about or no.

I think about art a lot only in two contexts. One is narrative... The other thing that I'm interested in, which is tangential, but not unrelated... All art to me is about problem solving.
