I think you cannot be too complacent. I think that's dangerous and you cannot take anything for granted.

I realized that my camera work could help me in a lot of ways to put the audience in the driver's seat, so to speak, to get them in there with the action, and to get them as close and be as intimate with what was going on on-screen as possible.

I'm a big movie fan, and I want to make movies in every genre. I want to make my romantic comedy one day.

If your franchise has been around for awhile you have to find ways to keep it fresh.

When you make movies, I find that I never have time to go to the movies and enjoy movies like I used to, because I'm so movied out, right, I'm so filmed out that the last thing that I wanna do is with the little spare time that I have is stick in a dark room and watch more stuff on the screen.

There's really no reason to rehash something that you've already seen.

Whether it's a popcorn movie or some really intellectual sociopolitical movie, I think to some degree they're all influenced by the social climate that we're living in.
