The writer crafts their ideal world. In my world, everyone has really long conversations or just picks apart pop culture to death and everyone talks in monologue.

Smith is describing a core principle of authorial control: fiction lets a writer build a world that runs on their preferred rhythms of speech and attention. He frames his own “ideal world” as one dominated by extended dialogue, monologues, and obsessive pop-culture analysis—traits strongly associated with his films’ talky, referential style. The quote implicitly defends stylization: characters don’t have to speak like “real people” if the work’s pleasure comes from heightened conversation and cultural commentary. It also hints at the communal function of pop culture in his writing—shared media becomes a language through which characters bond, argue, and define identity.
