I don't know why I don't watch a lot of movies; I can barely keep up with the things my friends are in. There isn't enough time in life.

When you're forced to watch something in school, you never really enjoy it; you sort of rebel against it in a certain way.

For me, there are always things to learn. It's like the next movie is going to be the good one, you know.

I think everything that you do, you're learning. I mean, every movie that you make is like a film school; that's one of the things that I enjoy about filmmaking.

I was one of those avid moviegoers as a kid, and we didn't have video, so we went to see everything five times. I went to see every foreign film playing in my town. As times went on, I watched a lot less films. I have a different film school now. My film school now is my life experience.

I like movies. Movies have afforded me a modicum of luxuries. The thing about the movies is, if you're bad in a movie, you're bad forever.

There's some movies I watch, they're kind of like my anti-anxiety pill, my anti-depressant pill. I watch them at least once or twice a month probably. And I never stop learning from them as a filmmaker.

The problem with movies is you are over-rewarded for the work you do. It's hard to give up, and I got used to a certain lifestyle.

You never watch movies the same as you do when you're a kid, ever again.

You learn as much from doing a bad film as a good one.
