Of course any kind of film process has ups and downs and days where you're stuck and have breakthroughs.

I feel like I'm still learning a lot. I think there's a tendency for people who are just doing their first couple of films that I see now where they seem to be really resentful of the technical limitations that come along with filmmaking.

Technology continues to bring us wondrous advances in filmmaking to improve how we view movies.

I see film as a real opportunity to examine the human condition. No matter where the technology goes in the future, the basics don't change. Storytelling is a primitive tribal function. The elders sat around the fires and told these stories as a way to pass on the 'dos' and the 'don'ts.' That will never change.

The technology available for film-making now is incredible, but I am a big believer that it's all in the story.

If a film is not a success, then that's just the way things are. Nothing I can do can make a difference. I have stopped worrying about it.

One problem with relying on existing concepts is that it could stifle innovation, weakening the film sector over time.

At the end of the day, it is about working in a good film. It's the films that you leave behind that matter.

There are many applications for which film is going to be better, for a very long time.

I feel that film is inevitably the medium of the future. It has been for years, decades, but more so now than ever.
