Entertainment has to come hand in hand with a little bit of medicine. Some people go to the movies to be reminded that everything's okay. I don't make those kinds of movies. That, to me, is a lie. Everything's not okay.

If I could be anyone, it would be Brad Pitt.

A movie is made for an audience and a film is made for both the audience and the film-makers.

It's based not only on what it played like in the theater, but it's also knowing that certain things play differently in a home theater environment. You have different expectations when you're sitting with 700 people than when you're sitting with your friends or family. It's just a different world.

Look, it's nice. I like the fact that critics liked this movie, but most of the movies that I've made, you'll find a handful of people that love it and more than a few other handfuls of people hate it. If I was invested in that, I would've given up long ago.

It's a bad day when you don't get the work done that you need to get done or you don't get it done to the satisfaction.

I want people to flourish. I want them to walk away from the experience going, "That's what it should be like."
