I just love good movies. And not every movie you're going to end up in is always going to turn out right, but at least walk into it with the right intention.

Movies cater to what the audiences want.

I feel like people want to be surprised when they get out of the movies. They want something thrown at them they didn't expect. They want stuff that reminds them of the feelings that you get when you're watching art house movies but with the fun of like a big summer movie. That's the goal, I guess.

A lot of people just go to movies that feed into their preexisting and not so noble needs and desires: They just go to action pictures, and things like that.

People always want the stars of movies to fall in love with one another.

I wanted to make people feel the same way I feel when I see a good movie.

A good movie makes the audience feel like they've journeyed with the characters.

I sometimes think it's better to go with a bad movie that is true to a certain point of view than to take something and make people try to like it when they're not supposed to.

People think that they just want movies like Pretty Woman, when really they - at least the ones that I know personally - have been waiting for something that doesn't completely insult them.
