In The Land Of Ideas, You Are

I Was Thinking That People Have To Believe You're Crazy In Order To Take You Seriously As An Artist. If You're Wandering The Streets, Talking In Gibberish, Nobody Ever Asks You To Change Anything About Your Art Because There's No Context For People To Look At What You Do.

In The Land Of Ideas, You Are Always Renting.

I Feel I Need To Really Think About Whether There's A Way To Use What Skill I Have To Address Things That Outrage Me, Like The 13 Year Old Girl Getting Stoned To Death. Because I Don't Think Making A Movie Is Going To Help That, Or Change That.

I Guess Why The Ocean's Films Are Hard For Me Is Because On The One Hand You Have To Make Sure The Performances Are There, But On The Other Hand It's A Film That Demands, To My Mind, A Very Layered And Complex Visual Scheme. That Takes A Lot Of Time To Figure Out.

The Key Is, How Do You Feel With The One Asshole? They Cannot Be Talked To. That's Why They Are Assholes.
