You Musn't Be Afraid To Dream A

I Think Audiences Get Too Comfortable And Familiar In Today's Movies. They Believe Everything They're Hearing And Seeing. I Like To Shake That Up.

There's Very Few Directors I Think In This Industry That Would Pitch To A Studio That They Wanted To Do A Multi-layered Almost At Times Existential High Action, High Drama Surreal Film That's Sort Of Locked In His Mind. And Then Have An Opportunity To Do That.

I Think There Are Advantages To Different Scales Of Filmmaking. You Wouldn't Want To Do Just One Thing.

You Never Quite Know What You're Going To Come Back To And Figure Out How To Make It Work. You Never Quite Know Where That Desire To Finish Something, Or Return To Something In A Fresh Way, Is Going To Come From. Every Time I Finished A Film And Went Back And Looked At It, I Had Changed As A Person.

My Approach With Actors Is To Try And Give Them Whatever It Is They Need From Me. Direction To Me Is About Listening And Responding And Realizing How Much They Need To Know From Me And How Much They Have Figured Out For Themselves, Really.
