I never studied directing and I never really thought about doing it, and then I just found myself in that situation and tried it. I like to be observing everything else, and I get self-conscious in front of the camera.

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

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

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

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 just remember seventh grade as being really difficult, because there's nothing meaner than a girl at that age. You gang up on people, and it's traumatic. It wasn't so bad for me, but there's a woman I know who's still traumatized by junior high. At that age, everything seems like a huge deal, but of course that changes when you get older.

My movies are not about being, but becoming.
