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

It [lighting the set up] is quite a process. It's like drawing. It's like being an artist. You pencil it in first, and then you ink it. When you're filming, it's like you're penciling it all in. You know where everything is going to go. But, that application of the final ink takes some time.

A lot of 3D movies have so much on the screen that you almost don't know where to look.

I kind of like working fast.

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.

Make DV movies so you can learn how to make films, but don't try to distribute them until they are fantastic.

I realized that everything I do is fantasy, whether it is an adult movie or a kids movie.
