I think there are advantages to different scales of filmmaking. You wouldn't want to do just one thing.

To me, any kind of filmmaking that's reactive is not going to be as good as something more inventive and original.

I've always been a movie guy, movies have been my thing. I love movies, all kinds of movies.

I just love photographing things and putting them together to tell a story.

People want to see something that shows them you can do what you say. That's the trick.

It's very important that a film that intends to play tricks on the audience... has to play fair with the audience. For me, any time you're going to have a reveal in the film, it's essential that it have been shown to the audience as much as possible. What that means is that some people are going to figure it out very early on. Other people not til the end. Everybody watches the film differently.

I have been interested in dreams, really since I was a kid. I have always been fascinated by the idea that your mind, when you are asleep, can create a world in a dream and you are perceiving it as though it really existed.
