Movies are very expensive endeavors, and my first film was not particularly a money-maker. Quite the opposite..

I'm as interested in photographing the film crew as much as the actors and actresses..

Films about women and their concerns are seen as frivolous, limited and, most damaging of all, niche..

I know we didn't make an anti-Semitic film. This is what the Gospels are. And it's none of my business what other people think of me..

There's nothing quite like the idea of failing spectacularly to excite a film maker.

If you make a movie of the present day culture, in the future it'll be a horror film..

The films dramatic requirements should always take precedence over the mere aesthetics of editing..

I never think about franchises, to be honest. I always just do the film..

Anything that can be dreamed is true..

Don't immanentize the eschaton!.

I have a St. Bernard named B..

Finally, the complexities of black relationships are being portrayed in television and film..

I won't be able to do a film just for bad reasons, for money or for - I just can't. If I have one more where I feel I can bring you something, I will….

I'm not really into musicals..

The saner you are, the crazier you are..

I flee who chases me and chase who flees me..

The future is all around here.' It's a place, anyplace where we don't exist..

I knew what I was doing, always! I just couldn't stop..

When I’m photographing I see life..

On a film set everyone is very cool. Well, blase really..

I spent my 30s figuring out how to be a grown up, I guess. I loved my 30s! My 30s were really about being happy with what I was doing..
