I would much rather see somebody bring something new to a genre than produce something that seems safe.

I think that during the shoot, you should never be there, unless something goes really wrong and as producer, you're responsible. The sign you did your job right is if you are not there.

You only find yourself when you disobey. Disobedience is the beginning of responsibility, I think.

If you get bored with nothing to do, you are not a writer ... We are in the business of reproducing reality from nothing. We are the biggest liars in the world, seeking truth.

If you don't take it personally, the partnership between producers and directors is very intimate.

Its a bit cloudy in London but people are already drinking out on the streets- God Bless the pubs.

When the monster has a dimension that allows you to humanize it, that's the route I usually want to go.
