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

It's become absolutely horrible the way the people with the money decide they can fart in the kitchen.

I want to thank anyone who spends part of their day creating...anybody who spends part of their day sharing their experience with us-I think this world would be unlivable without art and I thank you.

You're being mean to someone who's helping you. What is that? Everyone knows who the assholes are, and I avoid them.

I recently decided that I'm not an originator. I'm a synthesist.

I was lucky that I was getting exposed to a lot of different kinds of films, and I was liking them all. So it seemed logical to me that you could - as in the style of the studio directors of the 30s and 40s - jump from one genre to the next, with the same satisfaction.

"A meteor hits planet Earth" - that's a story idea but that doesn't give me any indication of what the character is.
