I just go with what excites me.

I try not to get too cute for cute's sake.

What I'm looking for in my career, you know? You're looking for those lightning bolts of inspiration where someone says something that sparks an idea or suggests something strange.

The truth is, writing and directing are two very different jobs. They're not even remotely the same job. It took me a while, as a director, to understand that.

Ive found that if you just try to make the film you want, youll find the right audience. If you try to please everyone, youre going to make really boring films.

In a weird way, it's much easier, when I don't have to worry about being a writer, to just worry about the director job, which is really fun.

Everything I've ever worked on has been hard to classify.
