I'm a family man, I have kids, and I go to the movies. And I'm just going to make the kind of movie I want to see.

If you want someone’s attention, whisper.

And I'm not anti-sequel, but I just feel like there are very few ideas that are meant to be continued.

I almost feel like its an obligation to not further the status quo if you become somebody with influence and exposure. I dont want to paint the same painting again. I dont want to make the same sculpture again. Why shouldnt a big movie studio be able to make those small independent kinds of pictures? Why not change it up?

I'm twice as funny, I'm twice as smart, I'm twice as whatever when I'm around other people that challenge me.

Loneliness is, I think, people's biggest fear, whether they are conscious of it or not.

Change is fundamental in story. If things go static, stories die.
