I'd like to have the script in a much better place from day one of shooting, rather than trying to continue to work on it while you shoot it. I think those are lessons you learn on any film.

It's important to listen to those around you, and ultimately you have to decide which path you're going to go down.

I was always looking for a career that could combine my creative interests with my technical side, and it ends up directing films is the perfect combination.

An established property can be a blessing and a challenge. On one hand you have all those fans of the original that you can pick up with and continue on with but then you have a lot of people out there who haven't seen the first and might feel like this isn't a movie for them because of that.

I don't wear glasses, so I like the idea of not having to put them on to watch a movie. It's a hard barrier to get beyond.

I've said it would have to be our Empire Strikes Back for me to come back and for me to pull the whole team back together. I think we do have that idea. We do have the idea that feels big and really blows the doors off this franchise. It's hinted at promises of something for two movies now, for thirty years, so it's time to deliver on that.

The commercial music video industry is very hard to break into, and until you break in, that first job is the hardest thing in the world to get.
