I think the films Insomnia and Memento share all sorts of thematic concerns, such as the relationship between motivation and action, and the difficulty of reconciling your view of the story with the supposed objective view of that story.

Every film should have its own world, a logic and feel to it that expands beyond the exact image that the audience is seeing.

The problem with big films is they snowball very rapidly and you can never pull back. It's a pipeline that needs to be fed.

I think there's a vague sense out there that movies are becoming more and more unreal. I know I've felt it.

I believe movies are one of the great American art forms and the shared experience of watching a story unfold on screen is an important and joyful pastime. The movie theatre is my home, and the idea that someone would violate that innocent and hopeful place in such an unbearably savage way is devastating to me.

If I could steal someone's dream myself, I'd have to go for one of Orson Welles.

I'm taking a bit of a wait-and-see attitude towards 3D.
