I've noticed that sometimes when you keep things a little smaller, it's easier to focus on the creative aspects of what you're doing.

A kid now can practically record a song or edit a short film on his way to school. I think that will produce, perhaps, more less-interesting things - or you'll have to search more to find the interesting things. But I also think it's exciting.

I think that it's important not to take [acting] too seriously. It's all pretend. It's a strange job.

I think it's very dangerous for an actor to take [shooting] too seriously because I think it could really damage you if you do that.

Right now is a very interesting time because of the digital cameras, and the fact that you can edit anywhere. It's a great time to be a filmmaker, is a great time to be starting off.

All these directors who do different locations forget that one room can be shot from a million different angles and a million different ways. When I direct a movie, I'm going to use that.

I saw the main character played by Mads Mikkelsen, and he's amazing. Hannibal had that going for it.
