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.

It's nice to go back with people that you already trust.

I have some sort of affinity for compulsive behavior. The most interesting stories come up from the people on the outside. They don't waste energy marching to the same drummer most of us do. It gives us an opportunity to look at things in a different way, which is the purest thing cinema can do.

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.

Turn off the sound in a movie, and if you can tell what's going on, the movie should work.

I don't think people are interested in my personal life. I've never had a Hollywood life. I've always been a worker.

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