I think because I'm not a parent, my most immediate connection to childhood is my memory of my own childhood.

I feel like everything I make is personal to me.

I think the way kids create is so inspiring. They're drawing a picture? They love the picture they drew; they're not tortured about it.

The invention of the iPod changes how you use music. Suddenly you have music everywhere.

Doing a documentary is about discovering, being open, learning, and following curiosity.

If you compromise what you're trying to do just a little bit, you'll end up compromising a little more the next day or the next week, and when you lift your head you're suddenly really far away from where you're trying to go.

On everything I do I'm always taking someone's money, whether it's a movie studio or a record label. Somebody's paying for it, and I'm always respectful of that. But I'm never going to compromise.
