All of the movies that last, that you return to, the movies that struck you as a kid and continue to open up to you 10 years later and 10 years after that - those are the movies I want to make. Those things are eternal.

I've seen many, many movies over the years, and there are only a few that suddenly inspire you so much that you want to continue to make films.

I knew I wanted to make a movie that hadn't really existed in a while in terms of being a teenager.

I ended up falling in love with the whole movie-making experience.

I realized what interested me as a student of film was one thing and the movies that I liked were another.

And I discovered after a couple years that I really didn't miss making movies.

I love the movies, and when I go to see a movie that's been made from one of my books, I know that it isn't going to be exactly like my novel because a lot of other people have interpreted it. But I also know it has an idea that I'll like because that idea occurred to me, and I spent a year, or a year and a half of my life working on it.

You know I'm proud that I was able to develop and produce movies that I wanted to make.

All the movies that I make in some ways have to be the story of my life. There are different chapters in my life.

I have a feeling, one of those gut feelings, that I'll make pretty good movies the rest of my life.
