The beauty is that we can blur film and TV a little bit more.

I consider myself an independent filmmaker.

I'm so consistent that my director's cuts are usually 20-25 minutes longer than the released version of the movies.

There's no staying where you were. If you're not doing anything, your skills and point of view are atrophying.

One of the reasons I really love low budget filmmaking is you don't have to think about that as much. You can have more fun and be more playful and be freer creatively.

'The Last Airbender' is genetically engineered for me. I love martial arts. I study it. The movie's based on a lot of Buddhist and Hindu philosophy. I was raised Hindu.

Sometimes people can write really great scenes and even a great episode, but they can't see the bigger picture.
