• “The original idea for (Bubble) came from a news story that the writer and I had seen—remember that news story about the woman who went into an ER with an infant and said, “I just gave birth to this baby”? She was, like, covered in blood. “I just gave birth to this baby, would you help me?” The ER people knew immediately something was wrong. It turned out she’d killed her friend at work, who was pregnant, and took the baby out of her stomach and brought it to the ER. And this was all because this woman wanted a baby and was jealous that her friend was having one. This was the craziest thing I ever read. We were talking about this line that gets crossed…”
• “The hardest thing in the world. It’s really easy to be obscure and elliptical and so fucking hard to be good and clear. It breaks people. Because you don’t often get encouragement to do that, to be good and clear.”
• “A lot of people who write about art don’t understand the importance of failure, the importance of process. Woody Allen can’t leap from Annie Hall to Manhattan. He has to make Interiors in between to get to Manhattan. You’ve got to let him do that.’
