Every time you say yes to a film there's a certain percentage of your yes that has to do with the director, a certain percentage to do with the story, a certain percentage with the character, the location, etc.

I always look at films as real stories with real people in real situations. That's why I struggle with the whole notion of calling someone the 'good guy' or the 'bad guy', because I think we all have potential to do good things and all have the potential to do bad things.

Success comes in waves.

I’ve been asked to do action-oriented movies in the past and they just haven’t been right for me.

I’m constantly trying to be as original as I can.

The thing I’ve come to learn is that what’s great about small independent films is the intimacy and the communication that occurs when you’re making them.

I can be fairly optimistic, but I’m probably more a realist, I think. I mean, optimism’s an interesting quality, isn’t it, because I’m always slightly dubious as to what’s behind it?

It’s funny, though, with films, because you can incorporate a variety of elements, and sometimes that can work for you and sometimes I think it can work against you.

I don’t believe in God, but the thing I do believe in is that we’re all connected.

Comic-strip stuff isn’t really my cup of tea, really.
