Making movies is a way of understanding myself and the world.

A lot of movies are made to make us dream.

Once a film is made and it exists, someone somewhere is going to watch it and that is kind of the magic of it all.

Making movies is both entirely ludicrous and incredibly hard. It's a preposterous way to spend your time. You give up a lot for the privilege of doing it, and one of the things you get are relationships of immense trust that you see forged in situations of immense stress.

The great thing about being a producer on a project is that you get to see the ins and outs of every piece of the puzzle. There are so many elements involved in every aspect of a film's development that I don't think the average person is aware of, which is, I guess, why the whole process is referred to as movie magic.

We all want to experience that in our lives - a moment when we're two feet off the ground - and making movies gives you that opportunity. It comes and it goes so fast that it's unreal, but it does happen.

Making a film, every film, is a big gamble, large or small. The more that you do it, the more you're aware of that.

Making a movie is like an accelerated version of growing up with someone. You spend so many hours a day with each other, and you're putting your heart into this same effort.

You shouldn't dream your film, you should make it!

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.
