I don't like it when reviews aren't about the movie. When they're about how much money somebody made, or who they're sleeping with, or if they got the job via some connection, or about how Fox is...

I like to be in a different place when I make a movie so that I can't really focus on anything else, and that is your world.

I like to nap. I do like to sleep. Sometimes I sleep in between takes.

I think 'destiny' is just a fancy word for a psychological pattern.

Part of me longs to do a job where there's not a gray area.

The best reason to make a film is that you feel passionately about it.
