Film is built for kinetic movement and crash and burn. It’s a great tool for spectacles. But if it’s not rooted to something a little higher, you’re just kicking your butt around the corner. You can only take so much of that. You have to have some sort of foundation to explode from.

I read the Steve Jobs book, and that kind of changed everything. I’ve been, like, an Apple geek my whole life and have always seen him as a hero. But reading the book, and learning about how he built the company, and maintaining that corporate culture and all that, I think that influenced me a lot.
You still have only one self and one identity. However, self, identity and personality are not things, they are not objects, and they certainly are not rigid. Instead, they are biological processes built within the brain from numerous interactive components, step by step, over a period of time.
