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

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.

I think if I've worked anything through with screenwriting it's that I'm not going to be able to work anything through.

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 that people have expectations of themselves and other people that are based on these fictions that are presented to them as the way human life and relationships could be, in some sort of weird, ideal world, but they never are. So you're constantly being shown this garbage and you can't get there.
