The thing that is most important is to feel like you're at the front of the line, to be prime or primer. I definitely never wanted to say that in the films, but that's where it comes from.

Filmmaking is a thousand choices a day and it's important to just let those choices potentially be informed by something deeper.

I don't believe that narrative works when it's trying to teach a lesson or speak a factual truth.

I've always been anxious about 'Primer.' There's good things about it, but all I've seen for a long time is the flaws.

Pierrot le Fou is something I keep coming back to. Its so surreal but still really engaging - it proves narratives within narratives are a landscape that can be pursued well.

Probably the TV show I've watched the most is 'How It's Made' on the History Channel. I could watch 24 hours of 'How It's Made' and never get bored.

The beef industry has contributed to more American deaths than all the wars of this century, all natural disasters, and all automobile accidents combined.
