I want my audience to say, "Wow, this is a film I'm benefiting from. I'm benefiting from what this filmmaker is trying to say." I'd always rather learn and be entertained than be entertained and feel myself getting dumber by the moment.

Personally, I'm very classic. If I'm going to wear a suit, it's going to be classic, black, and fit very well. There's nothing like it.

I think in some ways you learn more from the things you don't like than the things you do.

I've worked with a lot great directors who have huge resumes, but I'm really trying to be active in my career in supporting the new generation of cinema. I like taking some time to try to support and be a part of that.

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

I'm not really equipped to do anything else but making movies. In every other aspect of my life I'm a total failure.

I'm always trying to work on scripts. I'm pretty selective. Sometimes maybe too much because I'm broke .
