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

I like the early comic book characters more than the new ones.

I've been making films with almost no dialogue (laughs), so sound and music become a very powerful character to tell the story. It's almost like with sound and music and images, it's your tool to tell the story, especially when I decide to structure the film in a way that usually goes against the conventions of the three-act structure which most films are made out of.

For me, Amazon has stepped in and presented the future of entertainment. Obviously, the future of entertainment is going to be on the internet.

I'm a fetishist. I make films based on what I would like to see.

I don't have to go very far to see the power of beauty. Being desired, feeling desired is a very seductive aspect of our being.

I am not a fan of improvisation, because it bores me. Working off a tight scenario gives you the confidence and ability to - why don't we change this a little bit and bring it back to the script. You always discover things while shooting.
