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.

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

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.

You don't have your film finished when you have your director's cut finished. It's just a bunch of green screen.

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

When I was a kid, I had two great guilty pleasures. One was horror movies and the other was martial arts movies.

I want to make a bunch of small movies. I'm really interested in that for me in the future.
