The End Is Built Into The Beginning.

As A Kid, I Had A Background In Theater.

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.

I Was Trying To Figure Out What A Memory Feels Like.

I'm Interested In Art, And I Think About The Process Of Making Art. It's Part Of My Personality, My Experience Of The World, So It Ends Up In The Movies. It's Where My Head Is.

From My Vantage Point In Writing A Story, I Can't And Don't And Have No Interest In Thinking About The Level Of Sophistication Of The Audience. I Can Only Think About What Interests Me, And Maybe What I Would Want To See If I Were Watching The Movie. To Me, That's The Key To Writing Something That's Not Pandering.
