I wanted to write it long before I wrote Every Night, Josephine! I'd been thinking about it a long time.
I think about my films for a long time, maybe years, but I write them in days.
Sometimes things in life take a few years to digest, and they find their way into the work later on. Sometimes I'm writing about things from eight years ago-they just took a long time to distill and come out in the appropriate way.
When you're writing a book, you don't really think about it critically. You don't want to know too well what you're doing. First, you write the book, then you find the justification for it.
