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.

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.

You never watch movies the same as you do when you're a kid, ever again.

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.

Any film is a collaborative process, you've got thousands and thousands of people working on it.

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 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.
