I'm not a cinephile. My films don't reference films. I'm more interested in rhythm and feeling.

Every time I start a film I feel like I'm starting the first time, ever.

Each film I make changes me in some way. When I start the picture I'm one person and by the time I finish I'm another.

I'm done with effects movies for now. When you do a movie like 'Transformers', it can feel like you're doing three movies at once - which is tiring.

When I start a movie, there will be certain films that I watch again just because the vibe seems right.

I make different films now.

My next film is always shaped by the last one... by the things I feel I didn't get right, or the things I like and want to try to develop further, but it always comes out of the last picture.

Everybody knows that I am not usually patient enough to actually sit down and watch one of my own films from the beginning to the end - I never do.

I've done almost 20 films and I still worry about not finding the next one.

Your nerves can get the better of you, especially when it's your first film.
