I think when you get all the money and all the freedom, rarely do you get a good movie out of it or a movie that you're proud of.

As a first-time director, you cannot have final cut. But as a producer, you can have final cut.

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

I love REAL set construction and think that sets are very important part of the storytelling and scope of a film.

For me, lost causes are the only ones that are worth fighting for. The other stuff is not worth fighting for.

If you're not operating on an instinctive level, you're not an artist.... Reason over emotion is bullshit, absolute bullshit... We suffocate ourselves in rules. I find fantasy liberating.

I'm the freaky version of that superhero who says, wherever there is injustice, I shall be there. Whenever there is a difficult project, I'd like to be there.
