Movies have an enormous power to open the mind and the heart and everything.

I may be alone in this, but I do sense the power of film, in that movies have the ability to literally change people's minds. That's pretty powerful stuff when you consider that.

What I've realized is that a film operates both on the intellectual and emotional levels, and if you can find a way to tell a riveting story and draw ideas out of that, it's very powerful.

Cinema is visually powerful, it is a complete experience, reaches a different audience. It's something I really like. I like movies.

I find that movies tend to fix the aesthetics of a story in people's minds.

When I go to movies and I love the movie, it's because it feels like it articulated something about how we're living now, and also gives me some insight into my own life. I feel actually altered after having seen it.

I focus on the elements of a movie that are meant to invisibly affect me as a viewer. The edges. As an author, I'm aware of how the subconscious things can pluck at a reader's emotions, and I love it when filmmakers do the same.

When you work so hard on making a film, it's all worthwhile when you get to experience seeing that film with an audience who thoroughly enjoy it and react to the movie.

I don't think movies can ever be too intense, but people have to understand why you're showing them the things you are showing them.

I'm a big fan of film for one reason: because it is visual.
