I've been a book collector since I was young, since I was a kid.

I'm definitely not a nerd.

I'm not invited to the Vanity Fair dinner where they watch the Oscars - or even the Oscars themselves - so I sit at home and watch it with a bunch of close friends.

I love movie directors. I don't care who it is.

In this day and age, you need a lot of patience if you are in the movie business.

You can't reinvent the wheel. You've got to just take the best from all the other shows and try to make it work, because there's the "live show Gods" that dictate if there are going to be any surprises, if there's a very commercial film that's a Best Picture. There are a lot of things that are out of my control, but I do my best.

I got a Super 8 camera when I was eight years old, and I just wanted to tell stories - I love telling stories.
