Writing and directing your own film, for me, has been the best experience of my life.

I wasted time writing films. I don't look back on those years as lost, but it wasn't what I should have been doing.

Any film, or to me any creative endeavour, no matter who you're working with, is, in many cases, a wonderful experience.

I've produced a couple of films and really enjoyed starting it from the very beginning and seeing it all the way through to the end; that was very gratifying.

A lot of the struggle I had with movies is I really loved moments and tones and feelings in a scene, and I loved creating those, but I never really had great stories to string them together.

Film-making was not at all what I had expected.

I think each movie-making process is a very exhausting and satisfying and fulfilling experience for me.

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 wrote 'All is Lost' while editing 'Margin Call'. I did that long before I knew if I was ever going to get to make another movie.

I think 'The Lost World' could've been a successful movie except for the fact that it pre-dated the good special effects and computer graphics.
