I've discovered I can't make a film about people I dislike.

Being a filmmaker is kind of like being a glorified spy.

It would be nice to be in one place for a while and have a social life again and get a job. But I'm not qualified to do anything. That's the problem.

I love Hindi films.

My feeling for reality TV isn't ironic, guilty, or apologetic. Reality TV is one of the few remaining modes of popular entertainment in which characterization is permitted as plot.

As a writer, I try to do different things, but I'm not going to become a darker artist or turn into Radiohead overnight. I don't think that's my style.
