When I learned to switch jealousy for admiration, it unblocked a lot of things.

The only reason you make a movie is not to make or set out to do a good or a bad movie, it's just to see what you learn for the next one.

I have my misgivings about 3-D. I don't like the lack of blacks and whites, how it dulls the image, how the color gets corrupted. I don't necessarily like the experience of having heavy glasses in front of me.

I have to confess that I don't read much of what is written about me.

Learn from your experience shooting your film, and then move on to the next.

When I finish a movie, I don’t ever see the movie again. The moment I finish the color correction and the mix, I never seen any of my movies ever again. I just try to explore what I can learn from the experience and move on.

Story is important but the most important is the theme and how you're going to convey theme cinematically. I'm a believer also.
