I think it's a fantastic thing to be alive.

I learned early on that there are all sorts of stories I have no place telling.

I feel like there's a certain kind of laughter missing in the world.

I want to write stories that don't help you escape life, but embrace life.

The bigger the budget, the less an audience is trusted, and that's the difference between a big-budget film and a small-budget film.

I don't want to write my life. I live my life. I want to make up a new world.

I've wanted to direct for a long time, but it had to be a story I wanted to tell. The writer's job is to find the story that he should tell.
