Casting sometimes is fate and destiny more than skill and talent, from a director's point of view.

The internet is watching us now. If they want to. They can see what sites you visit. In the future, television will be watching us, and customizing itself to what it knows about us. The thrilling thing is, that will make us feel we're part of the medium. The scary thing is, we'll lose our right to privacy. An ad will appear in the air around us, talking directly to us.

I was making a lot of 8mm home movies, since I was twelve, making little dramas and comedies with the neighborhood kids.

I am a very impatient director.

I just had a crazy, wild imagination all my life, and science fiction is the greatest outlet for me.

The public has an appetite for anything about imagination - anything that is as far away from reality as is creatively possible.

I usually do about five cuts as a director. I haven't ever directed a film where I haven't made five passes through the movie, and that takes a long time.
