All movies are alchemy and time is one of the ingredients that goes into the alchemy. You want the time to be right; you don't want to rush it. You need the right script, the right cast and the right feeling in the culture.

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.

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

I happen to like things that are funny and dramatic at the same time. I don't see the difference.

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

Filmmaking is incredible introspective. It forces you to sort of examine yourself in new ways.

I just go with what excites me.
