I don't like television and movies where it's like, "Well, that was entertaining, but when I think back on it, that didn't really make sense and it's empty." That's like junk food, to me.

The beauty of a really good movie is that it's a whole world, complete in an hour and a half or two hours.

If my whole game depends on whether you can guess the ending or not, I'm done, forget it.

Create a really interesting, complex person that you want to know more about, and take her on a journey that is rich and fulfilling and that has an end that is perfectly fulfilling, and that has an end that is perfect for that character, and the audience will love it.

I love films where I'm looking around the world a little different now that I've seen that. I want something that nourishes my view of the world.

When I sit down, I find that it's much easier for me to want to consume a movie than to dip back into 20 or 40 or 60 hours of a television series. I think a great movie is really amazing. But, television does give you a larger canvas.

It sounds corny, but I think people need stories to process the world. That's our business. That's the job we're in. We tell stories.
