Some filmmakers, you know, have their style and then they kind of go looking for the movie. I'm not like that. I don't have one style that I want to take from movie to movie.

A real litmus test for me is how people treat someone who is waiting on them. That's a dealbreaker for me.If I were on the verge of getting into a serious relationship and I saw that person be mean to a waiter... I'm out.

Never had a cup of coffee in my life. Dr Pepper is my caffeine delivery system of choice.

To me the director’s job is to leave it in better shape than you found it, literally.

I'm a big believer that if there's something you really want to do, don't walk away because of the deal.

I like to know where I am. I don't like the kind of cutting where you don't know where you are.

I'm still very affected and moved by their music - maybe in a way that's different from someone who grew up around it.
