For instance, The Sixth Sense had mediocre to bad reviews. Slowly, the audience pushed it and it received critical attention.

You don't want to watch classics with me 'cause I'm constantly writing notes.

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

I always thought I was going to be the film guy until I died.

If I'm hesitant at all about an idea, then that's not the right idea.

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

I consider myself an independent filmmaker.
