Take me, subtract movies, and you get zero.

If you look at everything straight on, there is nothing to be afraid of.

I can't afford to hate anyone. I don't have that kind of time.

The root of any film project for me is this inner need to express something. What nurtures this root and makes it grow into a tree is the script. What makes the tree bear flowers and fruit is the directing.

If you want to be a great director, be a great screenwriter.

Movie directors, or should I say people who create things, are very greedy and they can never be satisfied... That's why they can keep on working. I've been able to work for so long because I think next time, I'll make something good.

The great appeal of film is its relatability.
