If you get a chance, whenever you're traveling, do go to the local boutique comic book shop and don't buy your comics online 'cause those guys are going to go extinct, in a minute here, and we want to be able to have those experiences with our kids.

I want people to discover my movies, and however they choose to receive it is their business.

One of the first signs of being depressed is that you lose interest in things. That's why I think it is important to stay passionate.

I just try to keep it fresh. I try to keep it interesting. The truth is my roots are independently spirited dramas that are small, and I will always go back to that well, because that's where I broke out of. But I'm going to keep doing as many different movies as I possibly can.

I try to keep my characters raising more questions than giving answers. I don't want to leave too much on the table. I want you to have your connection and your secret understanding of the character.

I care about the connection with the audience. Film is such a powerful medium. Movies can change the way people think.

I've always had a soft spot for comic books.
