I think once you've finished a movie you really have to detach from it so that you can come back and watch it as an audience member.

I've never been a big fan of the music-video style of editing movies that crept in the last few decades. I like stuff that's able to take its time.

I am fascinated with times past.

Visual storytelling of one kind or another has been around since cavemen were drawing on the walls.

The only person who can, with impunity, make the movie he wants to make, has got to be Steven Spielberg.

I spent 20 years of my career primarily being a writer for hire.

I think a story should take as long to tell as it is appropriate to that particular story.
