The reality is that I feel that fear is a very spiritual emotion.

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

When you see something or experience something extraordinary, you can't go back to normal... I think that that's the way I see the supernatural-as happening in mundane circumstances or to people who are unprepared.

I think there is a very quiet power in things that are not on screen

I have "fat-guy syndrome." If they give me $50 million to make a movie, I'll try to make it look like it cost a hundred. If they give me $60 million, I'll try to make it look like it cost $120.

You can't explain success in retrospect. The moment you leap into the void, that moment is impossible to negate, after success.
