Our moral reasoning is plagued by two illusions. the first illusion can be called the wag-the-dog illusion: we believe that our own moral judgment (the dog) is driven by our own moral reasoning (the tail). the second illusion can be called the wag-theother-dog's-tail illusion: in a moral argument, we expect the successful rebuttal of an opponent's arguments to change the opponent's mind. such a belief is like thinking that forcing a dog's tail to wag by moving it with your hand will make the dog happy.

It was only when i started making short films in college and i was looking for girls to play the me-ish parts that i thought, well, maybe i'm just going to try doing this myself before somebody else comes in and handles it. for a long time my acting was just a marriage of convenience between me and these characters that i was writing.

I think directing and writing are very different jobs. obviously, directing is a more social and managerial job. the other thing about directing is that it's a very, very pragmatic job, and writing isn't.

The one thing fiction and non-fiction writing have in common for me is that sense of trying to get the sentences to be minimal but at the same time be a little overfull - to encourage them to do a kind of poetic work.
