The Blu-ray is the real cinematech of world cinema. That's how it's being preserved. All of these guys that are trying to preserve 35mm negatives? They are wasting their time. There are better ways to see and project this stuff. It's called digital.

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

I'm not a fan of 3D. But I am a huge fan of digital imagery. Because it allows a filmmaker much more latitude to appreciate their own visions and dreams.

The thing that interests me is the good and evil in everybody. I don't have conventional heroes in the films that I directed, because I believe there's good and evil in everybody.

To me, the art of movies is to take a two-dimensional image and give the illusion of depth.

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.

The digital process gives me total control over how I want the film to look. The films look like they did when I was first looking through the viewfinder.
