Yes, but Hollywood is the strangest place in that they'll torpedo their own film to prove an emotional point.

I admire people who can just brazenly go through the world.

When you have a film that's acclaimed, there's a tendency to go big or get serious or something, but I had an impulse to do the opposite.

My plan B has always been to make a film about people who talk a lot.

Every film's different; every story is so different. But I think I've always been attracted to try to take something minimal and to maximize it cinematically. To find out if I can I really go all the way with one idea.

I lost a year or two in there, trying to get films financed that I didn't know would never get financing.

Hollywood has a way of sucking the world's talent to it.

The human psyche creates structure. We all go through our lives like, 'Oh! And then I moved here.' We're pattern-seeking, structure-producing machines.

I want to make a film about a factory worker.
