What I don't like are pompous, pretentious movies.

A pregnant woman is like a beautiful flowering tree, but take care when it comes time for the harvest that you do not shake or bruise the tree, for in doing so, you may harm both the tree and its fruit.

I regard myself as being the final filter so everything that ends up in the movie is there because it's something that I think was cool.

As a filmmaker, you are going to manipulate the character as you need to make the scenes work.

The big-budget blockbuster is becoming one of the most dependable forms of filmmaking.

I adore physical miniatures and try to use them as much as I can and have a bit of a fetish about that.

Filmmaking for me is always aiming for the imaginary movie and never achieving it.
