I can't make a choice to do a movie because people will go see it. People look at what a movie becomes and decide if they'll see it.

People ask me, 'What's your next film?' And I never know.

Me, as a moviegoer, before being a filmmaker, I try to think about what movie I would like to see.

In a sense, I think a movie is really a little like a question and when you make it, that's when you get the answer.

I've said this a million times. But I've always wanted to do movies.

I'm a family man, I have kids, and I go to the movies. And I'm just going to make the kind of movie I want to see.

People think that I have some idea about how I choose my films. I make sure that I am doing the kind of films that I want to watch. You hear so many stories, and one of them will stand out and connect to you somewhere.

If I start thinking, 'Is this movie going to open? Is this movie going to do well?' I'm not focusing on the job. The job is to make a good movie.

I will always choose to work in a movie based on whether I would want to watch it - if I would be willing to spend money in a theatre on it. The script and the people you will work with come after that.

Films are all about decisions, and that's what I love.
