I want to work with people who are good at what they do, and people who are passionate.

When I was a kid I was very interested in the idea of the will, finding out what you're capable of. I liked those kind of challenges.

When you have something to work with, then you fly with it.

Usually when you meet with a director, just meeting them after you've seen something you're interested in, they say, "Oh I'd love to work together," and sometimes you never hear from them again.

A lot of critics are lazy. They don't want to look closely and analyze something for what it is. They take a quick first impression and then rush to compare it to something they've seen before.

It's fair to say that if you have a lot of experience, your power is greater. You have more of an opportunity to roll up your sleeves with younger directors.

You can be intuitive when you've got a more expansive role. You can get into the poetry of telling the story rather than just pushing buttons.
