If a religious person says "No, no, no" and they won't listen to science, it makes me think that they don't have faith in their own religion.

If I'm able to catch the screening, there's a point in the film where, like clockwork, a portion of the audience gets really emotional and begins to cry. And that's very difficult to make happen.

I'm doing a record that has a story that runs through all of the songs, and then there is also a film that goes along with it.

When actors give their input, it can be very ego-driven, and directors are scared of that.

There are two kinds of directors: There's the kind where two plus two equals four, and you have to help them figure it out. And then there's the kind that throws you in a room, locks the door, sets the house on fire and films it.

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.

Some directors are very free and some directors are very specific. It seemed like doing a play.
