My dad told me, 'Your movie's never as good as the dailies and never as bad as the rough cut.

I think being mediocre and in the middle would be the worst. It's more interesting to get strong reactions, and to have the mixture of people who get it and the people who don't get it. And to invite a dialogue.

A lot of young filmmakers bring their movies to my dad because he always gives lots of good editing ideas and notes. He'd be a good film professor.

More actors in action movies should be gangly because that way it's believable when they move through tight spaces.

I try to always be open to what the actors want to try. I don't storyboard and try to be intuitive and open on the day of filming.

I like to write things to be personal, so I just put what I'm thinking about at the time.

I just try to do what I'm interested in and hope that some people will connect.
