Don't think that because you haven't heard from me for a while that I went to sleep. I am still here, like a spirit roaming the night. Thirsty, hungry, seldom stopping to rest.

Everything I do is always scrutinised. But that's all I'll say about that.

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 respect the audience's intelligence a lot, and that's why I don't try to go for the lowest common denominator.

I had a great education. From kindergarten to John Dewey High School in Coney Island, I am public-school educated.

It gets dangerous when you start allowing people to validate your work.

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