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.

If I can make one generalised statement, and generalised statements are never entirely true, nobody wants to be talked down to, kids included.

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

I always aspire to that, where it feels like the film was made by the characters as opposed to the filmmakers. I try to be invisible.

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

I don't understand the whole testing-numbers thing. It is not how I want to make movies.

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