I'm Trying To Tell A Story And

There Are Too Many Ideas And Things And People. Too Many Directions To Go. I Was Starting To Believe The Reason It Matters To Care Passionately About Something, Is That It Whittles The World Down To A More Manageable Size.

I'm Jewish, And My Family Is Jewish. I Was Very Interested In Woody Allen When I Was Growing Up, But I Don't Think Of Myself As A Jewish Writer. I'm More From Suburbia, American Suburbia. I'm More From The '70s Than I Am From Judaism.

I Think If Something Resonates, Even If It's Surreal, It's Because It Is Relatable And I Think That That's A Core Issue For Me.

We Try To Organize The World, Which Isn't Organized The Way Our Brains Want To Organize It. We Tell Stories About The People In Our Lives, We Project Ideas Onto Them. We Project Relationships With People, We Make Our Lives Into Stories. I Don't Think We Can Avoid Doing That.

I Think Everything I Do Is Based On My Experience In The World In One Way Or Another.
