Taste has nothing to do with style.

I couldn't sit down and write a novel or a short story - even now - because of my dyslexia. But I learned narration through movies.

Having one perfect thing was less important than having a range of ideas, realizing they were all taking you in a certain direction.

Twilight is about getting older and relationships - not about a murder mystery. It's about love when you reach a certain age; nothing is in primary colors.

Style is the most ephemeral thing I know. It's not about how effective you are it's about how you are effective.

Movies without meaningful dialogue play well all over the world. The Apostle is probably the best movie of the year, but it won't do squat in Korea.

The thing I loved the most about being art director was picking the photographers and working with them.
