I don't have a lot of patience for boring arthouse movies.

I don't think the competition's so rough, within the majority of movies made in Hollywood.

My sense is, I think it's okay for directors to do movies that speak to other work in their career.

I think movies have much more magic than the theater. Theater can be a magical experience, but movies thrust their subjectivity on you in a more profound way.

There's more to life than movies.

I think movies are good for getting into dream states or exploring weird alternate states of thinking.

I grew up in L.A., and I don't think I've seen L.A. onscreen in a way that felt real to me. There are definitely movies, but they are few and far between.

I want to see as many movies as I can and I covet a lot of weird influential movies.

The thing is there have been American movies that are similar to Solaris, like Alien had a lot of things that are similar, although it's also got the horror element.

I find playwriting really painful. I love it, or I wouldn't do it, but I don't love the theater as much as I love movies.
