I have to keep reminding myself that I was hired for a reason and one of those reasons is because of the stories I tell and the films I've made previously.

I love heroes that really go through ordeals and then come out the other end completely changed.

Sundance felt like a natural fit. I love coming here, and I do think that this festival suits my films rather than most of the festivals I've been to. I'm not going to Cannes, you know.

I distinctly remember watching Annie when I was very little and thinking 'I don't like this kid.' In fact I think I remember thinking 'I don't like any of these kids.' That's all I remember.

The films I like to watch are when they make it relatable to human audiences.

There were definitely Nazis who saw the error of their ways.

Sometimes there are really happy mistakes.
