Well, I suppose I'm interested in ways of storytelling and in stories that are about storytelling.

You've got to play what people think you are, rather than what you are. You have to have a sense of what you are as you're playing what people think you are.

It is extremely difficult to get movies that cost more than $40 million to be made these days.

The most difficult thing is the organization of people and the expression of your intentions. It's very easy to have a picture in your head and to imagine that you've told everybody about what you need.

For me now, it's about what you would write and what you wouldn't write, and that's how I select what I am going to do. It can be quite nice being brought a concept by a studio for me to work on.
