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

I think that the success of the film is as much about it being something that families could share as anything else.

I do feel like no matter what you're doing, whether it's music or writing a play or a poem or drawing a picture or painting something, that you're speaking to what is it you want to express, what is it you want to see.

Don't sell your story, just tell your story.

I'd like to use IMAX. The problem with IMAX is that it's a very loud camera. It's a very unreliable camera. Only so much film can be in the camera. You can't really do intimate scenes with it.

I love movies with spectacle but spectacle can be a performance, it doesn't have to be a creature.

Making movies was more a reaction to not being chosen for sports. Other kids were out there playing at whatever; I was off making something blow up and filming it, or making a mould of my sister's head using alginating plaster.
