Saw #‎ Birdman . Such singular, audacious filmmaking. Can't stop thinking about the ending.

My biggest fear in life is to be average.

I wouldn't describe myself as a do-gooder. That's really more my wife. I'm kind of just the obsessed guy who's been writing and making movies since I was a little kid, just in a room and make it.

A TV show where all of the characters are trying to figure out what's going on, and the suspense of that, fits my [voice] really well. You feel their frustration, anger and fear, and then, when the reveal happens, their sense of dread or horror, or whatever it is, and I like to paint with those colors.

Most of the time, I don't watch classics with anybody. I have to be by myself. That's my classroom.

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

I've been asked to direct pilots for a lot of shows.
