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

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

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

The muscles that writers need for film are very different from TV muscles. Now, when I hire the writers and put the writers' room together, I know where their muscles need to be.

One of the reasons I really love low budget filmmaking is you don't have to think about that as much. You can have more fun and be more playful and be freer creatively.

My directing style is long takes. The longer take I can do, the more I can think of not doing it in cuts, the better.

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