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

I haven't made anything I don't believe in. I've always started a movie with a song in my heart, and even when I'm a little unclear about it, something magical happens and it comes into focus in a way that I'm feeling good about.

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

Generally my instinct is to not do biographical movies. I want to build characters and not be locked into playing a part in history.

I think on some level, all of us have a little bit of belief in the possibility of different energies and forces and things like that. Otherwise, we wouldn't be afraid of them. Or there wouldn't be so many movies about them.

I do enjoy animated movies.

My best takes are my first two takes.
