I'm attracted to working with comedians because they don't have that stars' idea of what a hero should be. The downside is they're always addressing the camera too much.

I like actors who don't have to think too hard about what they have to do to achieve their performance.

Misinterpretation leads me to inspiration and creativity because I think my brain is trying to figure out some information that I'm confused about.

I kind of like the idea of taking a concept and going all the way with it, even if it's not completely plausible. It's something that I like about making movies. You have a concept that maybe would not work in real life, but you can make it work in the world you're creating.

I don't like those shows where people get eliminated every week, and then they have to get meaner to survive.

I'm not against the technology at all, I just don't like to use it if it's just to mimic what you can do with traditional methods.

It's part of my job to maintain the emotional reality and the naturalism even when the atmosphere is contrived.
