When I go into making a movie, personally, I don't try to bring other pieces of movies with me.

In Hollywood there's no real material. They would send me stuff, but I hadn't even seen the director. If I don't see the director's eyes, I'm not going. I'm not even going to pack my bags.

I turn a lot of stuff down - big, big movies, the kind I wouldn't want to go to the cinema to see.

We can't put up a movie that looks beautiful but doesn't have substance.

I've done so many movies that when I see them I don't really watch them.

I don't want to do any more movies where I look at it and go, 'Oh, God, gross.'

When I finish a film, I put it away and I never look at it again.

When you're shooting a movie that's not necessarily a huge budget, you have to think about what you can leave out and still make it interesting.

You want to keep it in there because you feel like it's yours but to be able to see that sometimes some stuff needs to go and I think it's for the benefit of the film.

Movies are so rarely great art that if we cannot appreciate great trash we have very little reason to be interested in them.
