For a film to be made is a small miracle. And sometimes it's a large one.

There are so many things that have to go right for a movie to be good that it's a miracle whenever one is.

I don't think people understand what it takes to make a movie unless they've experienced it themselves or been around it. It's a miracle every time you make a movie, and a bigger miracle if it turns out well.

For any director with a little lucidity, masterpieces are films that come to you by accident.

I always aspire to that, where it feels like the film was made by the characters as opposed to the filmmakers. I try to be invisible.

You're basically the sum of all the experiences you've ever had, and they're sort of shaken up in you and reproduced in the things you create, and that includes seeing movies.

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.

If you're a designer, there's got to be some films that you've seen that have inspired you creatively. There's no escaping that.

Any film, or to me any creative endeavour, no matter who you're working with, is, in many cases, a wonderful experience.
