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.

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

Everyone wants to be liked, so of course you want critical acclaim. After that, box office acclaim isn't bad. More than anything I think you have to try and make something you're proud of.

It's just nice to be able to communicate and be able to identify with a lot of different cultures. I have no idea what it would be like to be just one thing and speak one language. I feel enormously privileged to travel and be able to mingle and speak to people that, had I only known English, I wouldn't have been able to meet.

I just have a hard time displaying things.

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.

I have tremendous faith that there will be greater films to come.
