The art of movies is to allow the audience to suspend their disbelief. They need to use their imaginations.

Every time you run a 35mm print, it picks up scratches. It picks up dirt. Sometimes it breaks, and you have to re-splice it. You lose frames. This doesn't happen with digital or Blu-ray. I think that's great. Because I love the new media.

All of the films I have made, that I have chosen to make, are all about the thin line between good and evil. And also the thin line that exists in each and every one of us. That's what my films are about.

Directing is a nice job. It's the best job for me. If I had to pay money to do it, I would do it... Directing is playing. Acting.

The informing idea of what you want to say and do, that's what will take you from film school to professional - the idea. That's what is original to you.

There are many untalented people making millions of dollars in the film business.

There are films that I've made that I like a little bit more than the others. But the films that I mostly watch, and see over and over again, are not my own.
