What are the stories you want people to tell about you?

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.

I like a lot of different kinds of movies, I like a lot of different kinds of paintings.

Sometimes I might feel like [a movie] is kind of a weird idea and if I'm going to get enough money to execute it properly I've got to get somebody in it that is going to justify the expense.

The traditional models for success are just also disappearing.

Never had a cup of coffee in my life. Dr Pepper is my caffeine delivery system of choice.

You should never assume anything coming from a critical standpoint. You should go into everything assuming you're going to get crushed.
