One of the advantages of shooting digitally was that we had a lot of time. When you shoot, even if you do a good performance, it may get lost in the editing room. It's just one more way that a potentially good film might go astray.

I've made a number of independent films that didn't receive theatrical distribution, that a lot of people haven't heard of, and as a result, I've conditioned myself to go into small independent films with the expectation that they will not, and therefore, I have to find my reward elsewhere.

I was an English major, so I love discussing possibilities and alternate theories.

I don't think that necessarily I was encouraged by the nuns and the priest to consider alternate possibilities to the universe.

I can be a bit of a science geek. I tend more towards reading about brain science, neuroscience.

I love sci-fi, especially when it thrives on a thought-provoking story, rather than explosions.

I remember when I was working on Mission: Impossible 2, John Woo said, "In Hong Kong, there's not much money and a lot of time. In Hollywood, a lot of money, not much time." Personally I'd prefer not much money, a lot of time.
