Suddenly, I'm in movies that people are excited about, and that is a nice change.

One of the things that I find so exciting about life is that you're constantly surprised. You never know what's going to happen, and it's certainly like that making movies; every once in a while, one will come along that transcends all of your expectations.

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.

I think it's always super exciting to watch something before you can see it in theaters.

When you're working on a movie you always hope that people will go for it and enjoy what you're doing.

I think there's a real joy in going to see movies when you discover them yourself.

I want people to leave the cinema feeling that something's been confirmed for them about life.

I think you kind of hope for people to gush over movies, but I think the opposite way is great sometimes, too. I'd rather have a movie that you're angry about and that you're talking about the next day, than something you forget about when the popcorn goes into the trash.

When I started making films, like almost every filmmaker, I think, you're just so excited to be able to make a movie that you'll do anything.

It's always good to have no expectations when you see a film. Then you can be pleasantly disappointed or surprised.
