The ideas come from daydreaming, from sitting down with paper and pen and asking questions: what would it take to make somebody do this? What if this thing happened? How could a person get out of this situation? What about this dilemma? What if I combine these ideas? That sort of thing.

Interesting. Thanks for your detailed answer! How about Cakes Canella? The idea of him slamming a man's head through a cake cabinet and holding it against broken glass while the guy bleeds to death, and simultaneously reaching for in for a cake which he eats (for which he gets his nickname) is scary but also hilarious, as are many other scenes. Is that intentional, or incidental?
