There are men who bloom in chaos. You call them heroes or villains, depending on which side wins the war, but until the battle call they are but normal men who long for action, who lust for the opportunity to throw off the routine of their normal lives like a cocoon and come into their own. They sense a destiny larger than themselves, but only when structures collapse around them do these men become warriors.

For Devil's Backbone I loved it but I felt very pressured but so I was neurotic on the shoot.

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

...there's something about maternal love - it might just be the strongest human spiritual bond there is.

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

I only produce movies that have something stylistically different, so that I can learn from the experience of producing.

I believe in man. I believe in mankind, as the worst and the best that has happened to this world.
