If you wait until the right time to have a child you'll die childless, and I think film making is very much the same thing. You just have to take the plunge and just start shooting something even if it's bad.

The magic doesn't come from within the director's mind, it comes from within the hearts of the actors.

I had pictured myself as a filmmaker but I had never pictured myself as a director if that makes any sense at all.

I set my goals way higher than the achievable. And when I fail, I fail at a very high level. That's my process. It's really demented, but it actually works. When you are aiming really high and doing something new, you must be also prepared to fail, learn from your mistakes and begin with a new plan. More motivated than before.

There is a vast frontier that's going to take us a while to understand... it was very lunar, a very desolate place, isolated.

I am king of the world!

I always do makeup touch-ups myself, especially for blood, wounds, and dirt. It saves so much time.
