I hate when somebody says, "This may not work." You'll never get anywhere with that. I've pushed a lot of people out of my way - I don't mean physically - over them being afraid something isn't going to work.

I'm a minimalist. I see things in simple ways...It's human nature to define complexity as better. Well, it's not.

The lack of perfection, that's the hardest quality of all, because you're fighting your instincts. You're trained to want to do things perfectly.

A huge problem in movies or with people who work on movies is that two people can look at the same thing but they don't necessarily see the same thing.

Complexity is not good. People don't understand the elegance of simplicity.

Grips and electricians have done more to help me shoot good movies than any other craft.
