I like people to look like they're floating.

There's an unwritten law that you cannot have a Jewish character in a film who isn't 100 percent perfect, or you're labeled anti-Semitic.

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

And one thing Hollywood does well is sequels.

You have to do the research. If you don't know about something, then you ask the right people who do.

I tend to favour films that have multiple plot and story lines, multiple characters and ensemble pieces.

I've always tried to - when I've been able to - support young artists, no matter what medium.
