In important matters, whose opinion do you trust?

RELATED CONTENT

My friends and the people with whom I work: Joe Rosen, Christine Hegarty, Scott Connor, Ali Sujo, Marisa Bowe, Lianne Smith, Kathleen Creighton when she was alive, Steven Levy, Robert Knuts, Red Burns.

Which current trends in the media most trouble you?

It's too bad that most people do not understand how hard it is to represent anything accurately, and it's too bad that the media like to tell the Big Stories when we all know that life is like a Seinfeld episode, and the stories that really absolutely take up most of our time and attention are very little stories, and if they were well told and presented they would be much more entertaining than O.J. And we'd get more out of them because it would, again, remind us that we are not alone.

What are the sources of your best and most original ideas?

Disappointment. Longing.

Where do you find inspiration?

Success is very inspiring but I would keep going even if everything I did failed. Fear of death, maybe? The promise of sex?

What are your most creative spaces?

Home and the office, picked very carefully. When I was in a really low period I used to walk and walk for hours, always in the same deserted, time-tripping parts of New York, places I had found accidentally. I live and work in those spots now.
