What I love about new technology is that it really pushes the art. It really pushes it in a way that you can't imagine until you come up with the idea. It's idea-based. You can do anything.

There are real issues going on in just about any movie that's got fun elements to it.

Don't look at all at what other people are doing. Think of what you're doing as completely fresh because if you imitate you're dead.

Sometimes a movie series that becomes popular can be a blessing and curse because you get known for that. People don't give you a chance, after that... I'm a big proponent of getting somebody that you always admire and giving them a chance to do something else because they can redefine themselves.

Low budgets force you to be more creative. Sometimes, with too much money, time and equipment, you can over-think. My way, you can use your gut instinct.

If you create a good story that has a lot of story value I think audiences like that. It's why they stick with the same TV show over and over.

I collect a lot of art.
