Today, you'll have a following for a film before it even hits theaters. We can reach out and touch our audience in ways that they couldn't. So it's about getting eyes, getting interest, and getting people involved.

I'm not in the business of making us look clean, but I don't want us to look like monsters either. I think there is a little bit of hero and villain in all of us.

Your first obligation as a writer is to tell the truth and to tell a good story.

You can talk all day long, but if you don't do something, it's a waste.

My brand is good storytelling. I really want [my company] Hillman Grad Productions to be associated with great stories, interesting characters; things that are three-dimensional and feel honest.

I always want to challenge myself as a writer. I consider myself more of a writer than I do a director.

I never like to do something that it feels like I've done before.
