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

It's the hardest thing for an actor not to speak because you take away their main tool. So for an actor, it's very frustrating and very challenging, and very few people can pull it off. Some actors can say a thousand words with just a look, and it's a unique gift.

How can creativity be bad? You can have, "I liked it" or "I didn't like it," but, in the end, it's an individual experience. How can you even begin to define that? I find that sometimes extremely arrogant and counter-productive.

I never desired to really go to Hollywood and make films, and purely because I want my entire control, which I'm used to having.

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.

I feel Amazon is really bringing films into the future. So for me it was the best of both worlds.

My initial idea was I wanted to make it a horror film, very much. At times I do enter that world.
