In high school, I got smacked and kicked around. Two bloody noses. It was horrible.

The thing that I'm just scared to death of is that someday I'm going to wake up and bore somebody with a film.

When I felt like an outsider, movies made me feel inside my own skill set.

The most amazing thing for me is that every single person who sees a movie, not necessarily one of my movies, brings a whole set of unique experiences. Now, through careful manipulation and good storytelling, you can get everybody to clap at the same time, to hopefully laugh at the same time, and to be afraid at the same time.

I feel I'm all over my movies. I know my movies are all over me.

If I weren't a director, I would want to be a film composer.
