I want to be happy while I make movies and not just do things just to work. I want to do things I spend years on.

You have to tease enough misinformation and lack of information to hopefully make people want more.

Every single substitute teacher growing up could not pronounce my name, so whenever someone pauses, I'm like, "Oh, that's me."

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

I just have a hard time displaying things.

Even on my films, I always collaborate with the actors. That's a given. I think you need that. You need the actors to feel as much ownership of the performance and the direction of the story as you do, to get the most out of everyone's potential.
