You can't get good at anything unless you do it day in and day out, over and over.

When I look around the world and think why is everything working or not working, it's because it's entrenched ideology. You can't solve a problem if you're sitting down with people who say, "All these ideas are off the table because of what I believe."

I like a lot of different kinds of movies, I like a lot of different kinds of paintings.

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

When we look at what's going on in the world and we see the immense level of conflict that seems to always be happening - you can always trace it back to competing narratives.

My working life is me doing what I want to do. This is that. I've made movies that people don't go to see.

I've never been a snob. It [movie] is just about stories. And I've never felt just because it's a big screen and you plop down your eight bucks that gives it a special meaning. It's just "Are you good at telling a story?"
