I think the most honest responses to the movies you get to watch are in houses and people's most private spaces, like the bedroom or in your own intimate space. I think that's where you feel safest, so when you're threatened in the place you feel safest, it makes for the scariest situations.

One thing I am very strict about is that I don't like spending a lot of money on movies because the more money you spend I think the worse that they get.

I found that a lot of people ridiculed contemporary art. I decided I wanted to be involved in art everybody could understand.

We have creative freedom because of budgets. Ever since I have been doing low budget movies, we've really had creative freedom.

Directors typically have three choices - you do a studio movie and get a paycheck up front, you do an independent movie, which is for your heart and you don't get paid up front and probably don't make any money on it, but it hopefully goes to Sundance and is more of an art movie, and then you do TV.

My easiest judgment for a script is 'do I want to keep reading it?'
