I am co-writing a screenplay now and I'm working on the rights to another story I want to do. So I plan to produce and direct. So, for me, I don't really feel that I am vulnerable to that sad baggage that comes with the business of filmmaking.

I only make storyboards for action scenes. Once you make a storyboard, you don't film; it can be a stiff move.

No other aspect of filmmaking has tempted me to do a film other than the script and the story itself.

I think the script is the key. Regardless of how great everybody else is working on a film, if you're working on a script that you don't think is great, you're not gonna be able to make a great film. Whereas if the script is great, then you can.

The more people involved in making a movie, the worse it is, generally.

Generally, screenplays suck.

Making movies is a dangerous job. Because you are always the one who stands at the center of the universe when making movies.

For a film to be viable, it has to survive this process of scrutiny. I think most filmmakers have obsessive-compulsive tendencies and would be completely unemployable in any other job - so it's great to be able to channel your psychological anomalies into something productive and creative.
