Well, you know, we all grew up as 'Star Wars' fans.

Rather than thinking in terms of a specific genre or specific kind of thing, I hope I can just stay relatively small and keep making my movies. If I can keep writing them and making them, I'll be happy.

With 'Brick,' I wrote the script when I was 23 and didn't make the movie until I was 30.

If you make something interesting, inevitably not everybody is going to like it.

If I spend a year and a half writing a script, the first year will be outlining in notebooks. It's just the way I work, definitely not necessarily the best way.

I mean, the first “Back to the Future” is kind of a perfect script, I think. In terms of handling time travel the best, it depends on your definition. To me, that means it effectively uses it in the story.
