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

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.

My next film is always shaped by the last one... by the things I feel I didn't get right, or the things I like and want to try to develop further, but it always comes out of the last picture.

New York was big enough and wide enough that it allowed for reasonably eccentric people like me to thrive. It was a perfect place for me.

Every since high school I've been drawn to magazines.

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

Style and taste do not have anything to do with the other. It's the difference between wit and humor.
