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

When I was young, my idea was to become a filmmaker.

I never storyboard. I hate it. I don't understand why so many directors want to make comic strips of their films.

I like films to be complete in their written form.

I like films that are well-written and concise and with not a lot of room for improvisation.

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