Just because I was at an anti-police brutality protest, doesn't mean I'm anti-police. We want justice, but stop shooting unarmed people.

There are a lot of bad screenplays so if you write a good screenplay people are going to respond to it.

When I was on The View, Barbara Walters was asking me about the blood and stuff, and I said, 'Well, you know, that's a staple of Japanese cinema.' And then she came back, 'But this is America.' And I go, 'I don't make movies for America. I make movies for planet Earth.'

Unfortunately, every time I have somebody play an instrument, it's always like, they don't know how to do it.

I don't believe in elitism. I don't think the audience is this dumb person lower than me. I am the audience.

If you just love movies enough, you can make a good one.

I hate school at that time. Now, little did I know that actually if I had stayed in school I would've actually really liked college. I wasn't aware enough to know that the junior high I was suffering through would be school at its worst.
