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

I knew the moment it happened, it was a miracle. I could have been kissing her when she threw up. It would have scarred me for life. I may never have recovered.

I try to take B genre movies and treat them as if they're A dramas. Get the cinematographers, get the actors to do an A drama, but it just happens to be about aliens or ghosts or crazy people, or killers, or whatever it is.

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

'The Last Airbender' is genetically engineered for me. I love martial arts. I study it. The movie's based on a lot of Buddhist and Hindu philosophy. I was raised Hindu.

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

I'm so from the Woody Allen/Spike Lee school.
