You have to try to dismiss the loudness of cynicism. It's certainly going to come.

The truth is, I just want do things that are original and throw an original spin on them.

One person doesn't have to shoulder all the responsibility for why a film does or doesn't do well.

I try to please myself. I don't try to anticipate what people want to see.

I don't take much stock in other people's opinions if I think something's good.

I'm a big fan of dreams. Unfortunately, dreams are our first casualty in life - people seem to give them up, quicker than anything, for a 'reality.'

When I read a story that I think has value and I want to be in it, that doesn't change for me. It doesn't fall out of favor for me. I might have to move on because the universe is saying you can't make this right now. But I'm going to circle back and make it.
