Directing has completely changed the way I write and watch films.

My films do very well on home video.

To me, the ultimate crime in an adaptation is the crime of reverence. A novel is one form of media, a screenplay is another, and a movie is yet another. There's even reverence to a screenplay.

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.

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.

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

While I was a voracious movie-goer as a boy, I never put writing and films together in my mind.
