The theoretical casting part of movies is the funnest part. You really can imagine so many different versions of a story, based on who's embodying it.

If you really want to tell someone you love them, you don't just go and blurt it out. There's a dance. And your movie does that.

I definitely pay attention to details. I think one of the hardest things about making a movie is that it can be scrutinized over and over again. If anything just isn't right, it's going to take you out of the film.

I have aspirations of making a big, historical epic. I don't know if I'll ever get the money to do it.

I try not to read too much because what ends up happening is that you ignore the nice reviews and you just focus on the bad reviews. A negative lesson is learned seven times deeper than a positive reinforcement.

You're always against the clock. But really just fighting for quality.

Getting back in the directors chair - there's a sense of like doing something every year. It's not like riding a bike, you're always learning new things, you're gonna face new challenges and when you face new challenges you'll have an answer for them.
