If you're surrounded by good people and you're really honest with yourself, you'll be delivered.

I used to be a die-hard defender of physical film, which I still am. I love shooting on physical film and I think it's great.

Normally, I tend to be a very binary filmmaker. You give me a problem and a destination and I say, "All right. If you want to get from here to here, there's a series of if/then's that will get you there. And if you have other stuff you want to do along the way, I'll give you all the if/then's that are caused by that."

I was writing from the time I was 12 years old, but I originally wanted to be a novelist.

Success is never bad in Hollywood. It is what you do with success that will dog you.

I love films like Deliverance where you can watch it over and over again and decode all of its many different meanings.

The biggest challenge is not coming up with the stunt, the biggest challenge is designing a sequence around it that sort of justifies its existence.
