You have to be involved and relate to the characters in order to make a film that is true emotionally.

I'm not one to intellectualize why I did something.

I definitely enjoy getting to know people I find inspiring.

The past is just a story we tell ourselves.

I like hiring people based on a feeling - this person gets it - rather than what they've done in the past.

As a parent, your perspective of childhood is through the eyes of this person that you care so much about and you just want the world to be great for them. You want their life to be easy and happy.

Emotions are messy and hard to figure out.
