I Am An Obsessive Flyer, Myself.

I Think Romance Is A Tool, Comedy Is A Tool And Drama Is A Tool. I Really Just Want To Tell Stories That Challenge The Viewer, Move People, Make You Laugh, Perhaps Push An Idea About Being Open-minded But Never Settle On A Genre Or An Opinion. I Hate Genre. I Like Movies That Are Original In Their Approach.

The First Set I Remember Was 'ghostbusters.' It Was A Scene In Which The Street Erupted. I Remember Even At Seven Years Old Thinking, 'wow, If You Direct A Movie, You Can Break The Streets Of New York.'

I'm Really Specific In The Way That I Shoot. I've Always Had A Very Good Sense Of What I Need In The Editing Room.

I've Been Very, Very Lucky In My Career, In My Life - From Day One. When Aspiring Directors Say, 'what's Your Advice?' First I Say, 'be Born The Son Of A Famous Director. It's Invaluable.'

When I Think Of 'nightmare On Elm Street,' There Was A Warmth To Those Teenagers That I Related To. They Were Not Aware That They Were In The Middle Of A Horror Film, And I Really Loved Those Characters And I Empathized With Them.
