There are certain things that happen during the production of, I think, every film, that you didn't plan, and often it's better than what you did plan. There's the question of either going with it or not.

But the audience is right. They're always, always right. You hear directors complain that the advertising was lousy, the distribution is no good, the date was wrong to open the film. I don't believe that. The audience is never wrong. Never.

I believe today that there is no film and no shot in a film that is worth a squirrel getting a sprained ankle.

We all wind up the same way, no matter what our goals or ambitions are. We have nothing at all to say about how we got into this world or how are going to leave it.

I'm not a fan of Star Wars. That is not for me. That is for my nephews and nieces. I don't get it.

All the great countries are at odds with one another over something, and yet if they don't cooperate they're going to blow up.

Ive never seen a more terrifying film than 'The Bababook'. It will scare the hell out of you as it did me.
