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.

There is no one looking out for us. We are all alone.

People who come to see my movies, you're coming to see a drama masquerading as a genre piece.

I like to write in a shroud of secrecy because I have to keep finding ways to scare myself.

Anime is intended to have ambiguous features. That's part of the art form.

Basically, when I'm writing something, I think about what is the subject of the piece. The subject of the piece is our fear of getting old, which is a variation on our fear of dying.

Movies will end up being this esoteric art form, where only singular people will put films out in a small group of theaters.
