Each one of my movies becomes easier to get off the ground.

I mean, look, I love movies, not just the ones I make... In fact, I don't like the movies I make very much.

I want all of my films to belong to me.

I'm hoping one day I can make one really good film.

I don't want all of American cinema to be big cartoons that are just made to be digested by the entire world.

I don't feel despair because I am able to make the films I want to make, and that gives me hope.

As the years go by and I make more films, I am increasingly interested in capturing place as a vivid backdrop for my films.
