I'm an unusual director in that my cut is usually shorter then the final released film. I like short films.

We should all relax about life because you don't have a clue as to what's really going on.

Growing up, my fascination was all things dinosaur, and as an adult, I've had some success making films about aliens, so this is a dream come true.

I haven't read a review of one of my films for the best part of 10 years.

It felt scary because there was no auditioning, no rehearsing.

The weird thing is that I hate to fly, and the quote that I give people is that every time I get off a plane, I view it as a failed suicide attempt.

I'm not the one or two take guy, but I'm not the 20, 30, 50, 70 take guy either. If I do a bunch of takes, like more than five or six, it's usually for some technical reasons.
