But once you get down to reality, there's no one to play her and there's no movie. It would be ridiculous.

I certainly believe that creativity must be an experience. If I'm to steal time away from people, we should give them something to react to.

I think when you make a movie, one of your main focuses as a director is to inspire everyone else to give their best. Like manipulation.

Amazon, being a provider - not just on the playing field - is, of course, opening up a whole new set of possibilities. At the same time, Amazon also understands platforms. For them, theatrical is an extremely important event. I also believe it's the best way of seeing a movie.

I've been lucky to have a beautiful wife and children. The idea that something so beautiful can be so horrific at the same time. Beauty is a complex thing.

Creativity is narcissism. Creativity is falling in love with one's self as you create. It's self-indulgent.

People very quickly define success due to the amount of money something makes. In the end, I think everyone is searching for that experience. That's why we continue to go to the movies and watch television.
