As a guiding principle, life shrinks and life expands in direct proportion to your willingness to assume risk.

I saw 'Avatar' in the theater eight times and I got booed for it. I'm totally serious. First of all, I love that movie. I totally love that movie, but nothing intrigues me more than the fact that it made like $2.7 billion and so how many people had to see it for it to make that much money.

That for me is what intrigues me the most about feature films. It's not like the little kind of esoteric projects that you and your friends get but how do you make something that has a universal appeal. Those are the movies that intrigue me the most.

Free time is the enemy of progress

As a guiding principle, life shrinks and life expands in direct proportion to your willingness to assume risk.

It's the execution that matters, never the idea.

The right time is always right now.
