I was never interested in being powerful or famous. But once I got to film school and learned about movies, I just fell in love with it. I didn't care what kind of movies I made.

Sound is 50 percent of the movie going experience, and I've always believed audiences are moved and excited by what they hear in my movies at least as much as by what they see.

My life is making movies. I like storytelling, and I've got a lot of stories that are stored up in my head that I hope to get out before my time is up.

I am a giant proponent of giant screens. But I accept the fact that most of my movies are going to be seen on phones.

If I had time and a hammer, I'd track down every bootleg copy and smash it.

Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter.

You can't do it unless you can imagine it.
