You gain wisdom and you don't make the same mistakes.

My problem has been with purely digital films. I feel the danger there is that the kind of short-cuts you end up having to take are the ones that are most telling in the main characters.

I love the interplay with other smart and creative people who have got better ideas than I do and that I can bring something to, as well.

I love working with other people, and I love the fact that film is a collaborative industry and form of art. You're all working with each other and playing off of each other and getting the best ideas out of everybody.

I would never have expected anything that I did would ever appear in first-rate museums around the world. That was just a choice that I made, very early on. I was interested mainly in the entertainment arts. I wasn't as interested in being a fine artists.

With all of this new technology at our hand, there is much more opportunity to show and to allow the audience to take in bits of the story on a more subliminal level, as well as the more expository, simply because they are getting things from different ways. It is really interesting to see where that can go.

The real tough thing is working with actors. I'm a designer and used to working with artists, so there is some familiarity with the personalities that come up, but actors are their own animal.
