I just want to keep learning.

I felt film is art and there are people that constructed that art - and that made me want to be a filmmaker.

I came out of film school and went after movies that I thought audiences wanted to see or that the studios wanted, as opposed to the movies that I wanted. Over the last 10 years, I've gravitated more and more toward the films that I grew up loving - classic Spielberg, Lucas, James Cameron and Ridley Scott movies.

All I can say is, death is a part of life.

Nothing lives up to what you imagine. It changes, shifts, becomes something else.

There are too many good comic book writers out there. I'd rather remain a fanboy.

Last thing you want to do with a good movie is hold the audience hostage. As an entertainer myself, I just know it's better when you leave 'em wanting more than to stick around too long.
