My God Is Narrative Filmmaking.

I Think Video Games And That Stuff Should Be As Violent As Possible, But Age-appropriate. It Should Be Realistic. When It's Not Realistic You Run Into Kids Running Around Shooting People And Not Realizing The Consequences.

Comic Books And Graphic Novels Are A Great Medium. It's Incredibly Underused.

When I Go To Movies I Generally Want To Be Taken To Another World.

The Only Way I Know As A Director Is To Figure Out What The Film Is About. And Out Of The Theme And The Sense Of What The Film Is About, All Those Decisions Start To Make Sense. But To Find That Truth Within It, You Have To Limit Your Possibilities And Limit Your Choices. That's Where This Visual Language Grows Out Of.

I Think There's Something In Collaboration - The Fact That You Can Sit There And Bounce Ideas Off Of Someone. It Definitely Matters Who The Person Is, Because Certain People... The Act Of Collaboration, Where You Can Talk To Someone, Hang Out, Get Ideas Going, There Is Something In That. That's Similar Between Everyone. But I Think Every Individual Collaborator Is Different, Because They Have Different Brains And Emotions And Ways Of Working, So It Changes. Definitely.
