If the movie is quiet I generally feel the audience is busy. That's when they're working.

My cultural roots are something illusive.

Emotions serve characters' purposes. That is their motivation.

Sensitivity and money are like parallel lines. They don't meet.

So it [3D] is something I'm still learning, it's fresh, so if the budget allows I'll do it again and just see how far it goes because it's the frontier, it's more interesting. It's still expensive, the projection system can be annoying sometimes, it's not really regulated or perfected yet, so it's still expensive. If I do a lower budget I'll just do 2D, but if the budget allows I think I'll try 3D.

You have to know the rules, otherwise you have no tools to communicate to the audience, but to keep it fresh you have to break some. I don't choose genres as the element, but the material itself is the element, then I'll decide what genre I need. That's just how I work.

I did a women's movie, and I'm not a woman. I did a gay movie, and I'm not gay. I learned as I went along.
