All those years I had been making movies because I loved movies, and that's what made all the difference. If you're doing it because you love it you can succeed because you'll work harder than anyone else around you, take on challenges no one else would dare take, and come up with methods no one else would discover, especially when their prime drive is fame and fortune. All that will follow later if you really love what you do. Because your work will speak itself.

Tell everyone that your mistakes are art. You can get away with a lot that way.

When you make an exploitation film, you always want to have a real issue. That's how they were always done.

Everything I've done has always been my own made up world with its own rules and its own made up stories.

Data scientists are statisticians because being a statistician is awesome and anyone who does cool things with data is a statistician.

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.
