I may be even more grateful to George Lucas now than I was as a kid.

There's something about looking at Super 8 films that is so evocative. You could argue it's the resolution of the film somehow because they aren't crystal clear and perfect,so there is a kind of gauzy layer between you and what you see. You could argue it's the silence of them. You could say it's the sound of the projector that creates a moodiness. But there's something about looking at analog movies that's infinitely more powerful than digital.

I hope to make movies that are so small they don't need to make anything to be profitable.

Pitching is always a weird, difficult thing.

We live in an age of instant knowledge. And there's almost a sense of entitlement to that.

I was just like, "I want to make a decent 2-D movie." I was so worried that, instead of being a decent 2-D movie, it would have been a bad 3-D one.

I feel like in telling stories, there are the things the audience thinks are important, and then there are the things that are actually important.
