There is definitely a sense of pride to it - it's more precious when you cook something up from the beginning and you see it all the way to the end, and you get a little bit more of a say.

Fear is just not a part of my life - so much so that if it's involved in somebody else's life and they're close to me, I won't be around them.

What matters is how I feel about it, cause if I feel good or bad about it, then the audience will feel good or bad about it and that's just sorta the job.

I think cinema should provoke thoughts, sure, but using it as I soapbox I think is the wrong place.

I have a bad sweet tooth. I'm pretty good when I have to eat well for work, but otherwise, I could eat a whole roll of raw cookie dough.

Not looking really to do some big giant action movie that's just trying to make a lot of money.

You have to wait for a big star to come in and generate interest on a project, and now that has become me, which is an amazing blessing.
