The most fun characters to work with are characters that are complicated.

We've always been a band who's taken forever to do things. After writing 'Persona' I think we wrote about four songs in three years!

I love superheroes and I love weird horror films... I could definitely feel that there was a lack of movies like The Martian being made: smart genre movies that can appeal to adults.

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

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 don't like nihilistic characters. As bad guys they're great, but as heroes they don't work.

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.
