I'm very careful about how I portray violence in my films. I do believe that violence, especially violent video games, are not a good thing for young kids.

I want to tell stories, I don't really try to get boxed in by a specific genre.

Music is, for me, a great tool of a filmmaker, the same way cinematography, the acting, editing, post-production, the costumes are. You know, to help you tell a story.

America doesn't have the moral right to tell other people what to do. To say the whole world has to fall into line is you-know-what. I hope more people will rise up.

I really don't deal with hypotheticals.

Most human beings will not stand in front of a stage and tell you about the bad things they did.

Making films has got to be one of the hardest endeavors known to humankind.
