A long time ago, I stopped trying to look at projects as genre exercises.

If I had to choose between a great acting job and a good directing job, I'd choose the directing job.

I just don't think of myself as an actor much at all, so I don't lust after any particular roles.

Confidence is preparation in action.

I think more and more scientists are becoming convinced that it's very likely that life forms of some kind exist all around the universe not so far from us.

I think the most important thing really was that you could take very personal ideas and present them to an audience in entertaining ways.

One of the great things about being a director as a life choice is that it can never be mastered. Every story is its own kind of expedition, with its own set of challenges.
