The beauty of the world of Unbreakable is that you're playing it for reality. It should never feel like a comic book movie. It feels like a straight-up drama. It's real. You're confronting the possibility that comic book characters were based on people that were real.

Giving should be a part of your routine, just like working out, eating, and sleeping.

I'm from that world where I feel so comfortable making small independent movies.

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

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

My philosophy is to make movies with the biggest possible budget that will allow it to be made in an independent fashion.

There are scenes that were right on the edge, but I always try to err on non-indulgence. It's something that I'm very careful about, that I'm just leaning too hard into something.
