I happen to like vampires more than zombies.

All I can do is try to do the best work I can. I need to work, I like to work... although I complain about it, but I do like it - and I just need to make the best film I can.

Very often I've known people who wouldn't say a word to each other, but they'd go to see movies together and experience life that way.

The more you see, especially being young, the more you see the past, the more you can draw upon that and the more you can make the present and the future. It's how you process the past and at oftentimes in the picture, there are references to certain imagery from certain pictures, and certain novels.

There are two kinds of power you have to fight. The first is the money, and that's just our system. The other is the people close around you, knowing when to accept their criticism, knowing when to say no.

Cinema is a matter of what's in the frame and what's out.

You've got to protect whatever creative talent you have left.
