I can zero in on subtle things because I'm holding the camera.

I like films to be complete in their written form.

I think the best thing I learned from drawing comics is that it's a great exercise in concision.

But I won't work with the exact same crew film after film because I feel the work would get a little complacent.

Sometimes it only takes three words, so long as they're the right words, to direct an actor in the right way.

I did the drawing and writing - for five years. I made a lot of short films the whole while and I made a promise to myself in front of the mirror that I would stop drawing when I signed my first contract for a feature film.

I would rather my films be well-known than I be well-known.
