What's great about making movies is the sort of additive process of bringing people together and having an idea and watching the idea be added to and at the end you have this thing.

Making movies is really hard. It's a very complex process, with many, many variables.

Making movies is difficult and you get disorientated sometimes - even when you're working with fantastic talent.

Making movies is both entirely ludicrous and incredibly hard. It's a preposterous way to spend your time. You give up a lot for the privilege of doing it, and one of the things you get are relationships of immense trust that you see forged in situations of immense stress.

Making movies is not rocket science. It's about relationships and communication and strangers coming together to see if they can get along harmoniously, productively, and creatively. That's a challenge. When it works, it's fantastic and will lift you up. When it doesn't work, it's almost just as fascinating.

I have so much appreciation for movies because I understand how hard it is to make one.

When I go to a film, you're taking it easy and you let things wash over you. That's what cinema's all about. You get involved in a world that's being created in front of you.

The motivation for making movies is that people actually see them.

Making movies is a dangerous job. Because you are always the one who stands at the center of the universe when making movies.

Maybe when I stop making movies, I'll understand my work better.
