Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

The only honest and generous thing for me to do is to give people myself. That's all I've got as an artist, so I want to do that in an unflinching way.

Creative Work
|
Nov 07, 2020

It occurred to me that every work of art is a synecdoche, there's no way around it. Every creative work that someone does can only represent an aspect of the whole of something. I can't think of an exception to that.

Nov 07, 2020

We try to organize the world, which isn't organized the way our brains want to organize it. We tell stories about the people in our lives, we project ideas onto them. We project relationships with people, we make our lives into stories. I don't think we can avoid doing that.

History
|
Nov 07, 2020

There's no way to approach anything in an objective way. We're completely subjective; our view of the world is completely controlled by who we are as human beings, as men or women, by our age, our history, our profession, by the state of the world.

Own
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've had to deal, a lot, with my own sense of intimidation at meeting famous people - especially actors, but really any famous people.

Love
|
Nov 07, 2020

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.

Find
|
Nov 07, 2020

I have ideas written down some places, but usually I can't find them. I'm not very organized.

Forget
|
Nov 07, 2020

I do throw out a lot of ideas, and I forget completely about them.

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm interested in trying to explore what I think is the truth at a given time in my life, and part of the process of being honest is - in my mind - talking about the idea that you're watching a movie. You're sitting here watching a movie. And I like that. It appeals to me intellectually, and also in a way I can't even explain.

Nov 07, 2020

As a writer, or as a filmmaker, you have to present yourself, and part of what yourself is is what you're interested in, or what you think is funny, or what you think is sad, or what you think is horrible.

Insecurity
|
Nov 07, 2020

I do have, at different times, a certain kind of self-consciousness in the world, an insecurity.

Story
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm trying to tell a story and do it truthfully.

Nov 07, 2020

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.

Nov 07, 2020

I wanted to deal with someone's idea of their relationship.

Memory
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think you just assume that your memory is just sort of a video playback of your experience, but it's nothing like that at all. It's a complete refabrication of an event and a lot of it is made up, because you're filling in spaces.

Looks
|
Nov 07, 2020

I want to try it to see what it's like and see what my stuff looks like when I take it from inception to completion.

Go
|
Nov 07, 2020

The way I write is very much without kind of a goal. I have something I'm interested in and then I decide I'm going to explore it. I don't know where the characters are going to go, I don't know what the movie is going to do or what the screenplay is going to do. For me, that's the way to keep it alive.

Know
|
Nov 07, 2020

We have the script, we have the actors, and we're trying to figure out what this is, and you don't know what it is. You have to be open to what it's going to become rather than have this thing that you're trying to get to, which is boring.

Difficult
|
Nov 07, 2020

I like titles that are a little difficult, because it's kind of counterintuitive.

Constantly
|
Nov 07, 2020

Constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating.
