Film still looks way better than digital.

Levity, you need levity to feel anything. You need to laugh before you cry. I think films that take themselves too seriously without any levity are missing an important ingredient to the potential emotional impact of their stories.

Collaboration sometimes causes conflict, and sometimes it's easy, but the bringing together of great minds only adds.

I don't really put trophies out. I don't keep trophies around my apartment.

I don't really see a huge divide between filmmaking and television. In the end, a lot of people are going to be watching this stuff on their laptops and their iPhones anyway. So, it doesn't really matter where it comes from, as long as the stories get told.

When you know you have a certain amount of work to finish, you just don't allow yourself to get sick again.

As a director, your job is to make sure no one for any reason is taken out of the film. Sometimes it's impossible and sometimes things don't come out the way you want them to, but I think you have to work really hard at making the world engrossing and details are a major part of that.
