There's nothing better than finishing something and looking at it. Whether it be a script or a movie, it's this complete little thing that now exists and is hopefully immortal.

I'm the kind of person where you're never done, you just keep perfecting and perfecting and perfecting, or trying to fix things that drive you crazy. Often times when you watch a film, "if I could just get through this minute, I'll be fine." So I think I'm just hard on myself.

It's an important part of being a member of society to know what's happening in the world and to know where you fall in it and what you can do about it.

If you think of most murders as being between people who know each other, it's very easy to figure out who the killer is. But when you have a murder that appears random, where the person is not someone that's within the known radius of the victim, then it's much, much more difficult to solve.

Film still looks way better than digital.

I started writing stories when I was 9 or 10. I wrote my first screenplay-type document when I was 14.

I'm terrible at making titles. I never like the titles of my films.
