It's fun doing new things.

I don't want to be doing movies that I don't want to do. They take so much out of you.

The problem I have with schools is, people are taught, 'This is how you do this.' They're not taught about why you do this.

I always wanted to make aliens that looked like '60s aliens.

When you're working on a movie you always hope that people will go for it and enjoy what you're doing.

Usually people who are in my position, they run a company and they hire people and then they take the credit for it.

I'm amazed that movies ever get finished at all - much less come out good once in a while. It's an awful lot of work and it can go wrong a thousand different ways.
