My best male friend is my best friend until he crosses me. We're all protective of the self.

We humans are a fairly barbarous bunch.

Just in the past few years - since I've been making movies, which isn't a very long time - you now have a culture that is fascinated and informed about the box office in a way that sometimes filmmakers weren't even.

If we put the camera on ourselves, our friends and neighbors, we'll come up with some scary stuff.

People have perhaps gotten to the point where for the most part movies are a just bit of escape.

I would be more frightened as a writer if people thought my movies were like science fiction.
