I actually think I'm probably more interested in structure than most people who write screenplays, because I think about it.

I think I've had pretty good experiences for the most part with the people who have directed my screenplays.

I think of myself as a guy who tries to write screenplays and now has tried to direct one. Anything more than that is meaningless and it gets in the way of being a real human being.

I think if something resonates, even if it's surreal, it's because it is relatable and I think that that's a core issue for me.

I think generally I'm kind of interested in subjective experience, what goes on inside someone's head, that being all they really know of the world.

I can talk endlessly about characters, or why someone did this or that, and what that dynamic and interaction is. I really love it, and I think that actors really respond positively to the fact that I like to talk about that stuff, because I'm not sure that all directors do.
