I trust my judgment when I think it's boring, dull, tepid and not interesting. That's important to listen to. And the same on the set. That's a little easier because you can see it in front of you and you can just see how great they are and you know you have something wonderful when they do something wonderful.

I would love to take control of the entire universe and for five years you give every movie the same widespread distribution no matter what movie and see if there's a real discrepancy between people coming to see science-fiction films or superhero films. I seriously bet there would be no discernible difference.

I grew up going to the movies, not watching them on television, so I'm still a bit resistant to TV as a medium.

The world is really heading in a very dangerous direction, it becomes that much more valuable and important to go to the movies and see human beings that are human beings.

I feel like if you can describe something fully and accurately, then people will be able to see it themselves - they don't need be told what to.

I often find myself writing about people taking care of each other, or trying to. And often seem to write about situations that are too big for the characters.
