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

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

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

I love 'The Killing', I love 'Homeland' and 'Mad Men', all those shows that lean into the tone of things.

I find it very eerie when somebody is being really polite.

You don't get to celebrate yourself unless you risk being mocked or rejected. As an artist, you cannot play it safe. You just can't.

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.
