I used to tell my three younger siblings stories because that was my household chore, and I told long stories in installments because it was easier and more fun than making up a new story every night. I loved it.

Knowing that we were doing good work and the stories were good. They were original and charming. They weren't particularly violent or sexy or any of that. They were just unique and that had a good feel to it.

I loved all ghost stories. So I guess it was only a matter of time before I wrote one.

I deliberately, in a way, went for something that was a huge challenge and was a big period film. I was excited about the canvas on which I could tell the story as much as the story itself.

All I wanted to do was read, to be told stories. Stories were full of excitement and emotions and characters that entertained and often inspired.

I ended up falling in love with the whole movie-making experience.

Myth is, after all, the neverending story.

Just making a movie the way 'All is Lost' had to be made was a great experience, because it was structured differently than any other film I will make for the rest of my life.

The great thing is to have been surrounded by stories all my life.

The opportunity to be a storyteller is the greatest thing in the world, and I feel so lucky and really love it.
