You've got to believe as a filmmaker that if a movie's good enough, it's going to survive; and if it's not, well, it won't.

I like throwing snowballs at small children.

When I drive through a field, I want to see green grass sometimes, and I don't want to see black and white.

I want to try and work in different genres with different types of actors, on small movies and big movies.

The perceived wisdom is that people do not go in large numbers to black-and-white movies anymore - which is a great shame, but I'd love to make a black-and-white movie one day.

If you're doing a classic play, where if you do a Chekhov, you do the words as written. You can't do that with a novel; you have to do your version of the words as written.
