Some people like when it rains a lot. Some people like sunshine. The idea that there's one, all encompassing afterlife is strange. It doesn't seem to make sense because we're all such different people.

I just go with what excites me.

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.

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

I do love writing but it is a lonely profession. You're lonely and optimistic at the same time.

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.

It's so rare that you meet your idols and they outdo your expectations.
