Love comes from the strangest places.

I can't make a film that I don't feel comfortable with.

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.

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.

I've done collaborations in all my movies, and I think it's part of what I enjoy about the process. This kind of intimacy that you create. Because it becomes very intimate.

Narcissism as a virtue is very futuristic. Narcissism as a quality is where I think things are heading.

Financing films that are demanding is a task, in itself. Because people are so afraid of taking any kind of chance, because they're afraid the audience isn't going to respond. But the audience is so hungry for anything that's a bit original, personal, or different.
