I always remember my dad saying, "No one makes a remake unless they are trying to make money; there is no reason for it." It was not an honorable thing to do.

I'm always a sucker for a love story.

My parents were always encouraging of us being creative however we wanted to be. People say, "You didn't get pressured into having to be a director?" But it's hard to be around my dad and not be curious about filmmaking, because he thinks it's the ultimate medium.

It seems that the greatest difficulty is to find the end. Don't try to find it, it's there already.

You don't have to be loud. If you know what you want, people respect that.

I feel like the internet has encouraged people to look into things and try to find issuesthat because people have a lot of opinions. I think it's really important to encourage artistic freedom. I think if you inhibit that, that could be dangerous.

You're considered superficial and silly if you are interested in fashion....But I think you can be substantial and still be interested in frivolity.
