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.
From Charlie Kaufman
I like titles that are a little difficult, because it's kind of counterintuitive.
I do like escapism. I like going to the movies on a Friday night and seeing something fun.
I'm not a celebrity. I'm intentionally and defiantly not a celebrity. I don't have any interest in it. I don't have any talent for it. I keep my personal life out of my public life as cleanly as I can.
So when I write characters and situations and relationships, I try to sort of utilize what I know about the world, limited as it is, and what I hear from my friends and see with my relatives.
Sometimes I don't like the books that I'm reading.
My time on the set is the least of my involvement. Most of my time is in pre-production and post-production.
I actually think I'm probably more interested in structure than most people who write screenplays, because I think about it.
I've had to deal, a lot, with my own sense of intimidation at meeting famous people - especially actors, but really any famous people.
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.
