If you're sitting around thinking what other people think about your work, you'll just become paralysed.

Truth and facts have to trump partisanship. There has to be something that's true regardless of what your angle is on it.

You can create meaning where there was none, you can create feeling where there was none, you can create narrative where there was none. Two frames can be the difference between something that works and something that doesn't. It's fascinating.

It's a weird thing to say, but it would appear to me axiomatic that if you understood fully what I was doing and appreciated it, you would like it.

The brief flashbacks are sun-kissed, summery and optimistic. It's the only place in the movie you will see red, yellow, orange, or any vibrant colors.

I've found through experience that I'm only good when I'm writing something that, in essence, only I could write. The times I've written for hire, for other people, I don't think I've done very well.

That's why my attitude, even on my larger-scale movies, is to make them cheap. The less these things cost, the better for everybody.
