I grew up in a place where no one knew anyone in the entertainment business, I never knew it was an actual career.

In a science fiction movie, the first act is a little longer than it is in most movies because there is so much world building to do.

I think that while you're making the film it's important to just keep your eye on the ball and make the best movie you can, and then realize that it's out of your control.

Go out and make something that reflects your interests, your taste, and your ideas. No one will pay you to make something until you have a few things you can show that you've directed. I got my start by making short films on my own.

I love movies that ask big questions but don't necessarily answer everything. I like people walking out thinking about something.

As a director, if you know what you want, then it's not scary.
