Film is abstract, not definite. It is a dream.

If you look at American studios, the big productions have nothing to do with reality.

Something that I tell myself every morning when I wake up is like: "Think it over, take the time to think it over." I don't like spontaneity, there you go. I'm wary of it.

Used properly, cinema is the coolest thing in the world.

Film is abstract, not definite. It is a dream.

When things aren't working out, we have a tendency to say, 'Go do other things,' but you shouldn't do other things. You need to stay at your desk and continue to try to write. You need to insist on it.

It's truly gratifying to see my films reach beyond a familiar public, to get a chance to move new audiences. It's nuts. It's extraordinary.
