- My biggest fear is death. I think that's part of why I love being a filmmaker. Even after you die, your films live on forever and are talked about forever. So in a way, you become immortal.
- The director has one job. Take that vision, that movie he saw in his head when he first read or wrote that initial script, and hire the cast and crew and get the right amount of money to make that vision, that movie in his head, become a reality on the big screen. 99.9% of the time what ends up on that screen isn't what you wanted, but the .1% of the time that it is, is pure bliss.
- To me life is all about the choices you make. You make good choices you will have a good life. You make bad choices you will have a bad life. It's really that simple to me. People always complain about how they hate their life, hate their job, hate their relationship, or hate the fact that they don't have a relationship. Hate the fact their dreams didn't come true. If you're lazy and don't spend time with people who have the career you want, how will your career get better? If you date losers and people who don't respect you, how do you expect to find love & happiness? We blame the universe, destiny, society, others, when the blame belongs with ourselves. If we made better choices, everything we want our life to be would happen. That's why my movies end the way they do. A character having to make a choice between two things. That choice will shape their future. But we never actually see that choice they make though, it cuts to black. Because I don't want the audience to worry about where the character's life went. I want them to think about their own life. The choices they've made.
- I think Hollywood doesn't like to take a lot of risk. Transformers, Spider Man, that has a built in audience. They'll come anyway. What is a risk is the $30 million to $70 million dollar movies. The super low budget horror films are the most financially successful.
- Obsession beats hard work every time. Be obsessed.
- There are people in this game who gives 100% and still don't make it. What makes you think you can give 50% and make it?
