I view filmmaking as a director's medium.

Film is just a great medium to express yourself and a great environment to work around.

Film is so immersive.

Filmmaking can give you everything, but at the same time, it can take everything from you.

I think films have to reach people and really grab them. That's what I hope to do when I make a film - to get under your skin and really make you think about something, and have a transporting time that takes you somewhere.

I've gone out of my way to not take baggage with me from film to film.

Films should have the capacity to bring you into another world.

Film has the potential of allowing me to explore my own ideas, which I find very attractive.

There's something very dreamlike about film, and I will always be very fascinated by that, and I'm always tempted to go in that direction.

A big part of my filmmaking is that I can go somewhere new and, visually, be excited by it.
