I am a child of cinema, and I am a cineaste, so everything I do is a reference to something I've heard or experienced or seen. And we all do it, we all steal. The ones who claim they don't, are obviously lying, because you do. You just have to make it your own.

I feel that silence is the greatest word, ever. When you don't talk, people begin to read things into you or you become what they long for. When you don't talk, you almost become the mirror image of the other person.

The more we become civilized, the more we simultaneously understand our need to be virtuous, and our need to understand our experiences on a subconscious level.

I have not seen "Batman v Superman," unfortunately. It hasn't been on the plane, as I've been flying a lot.

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 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.

You know the one I want to do? I want to make Batgirl.
