I try to keep the number of projects I'm involved in down to one per year.

Every project is a race between your enthusiasm and your ability to get it done. Go fast. Don't slow down. A year from now, new things will interest you.

I hope to devote all of my spare time, which ordinarily would go to research, my summers, and every ounce of strength I can muster to further the project.

I usually have one project I'm focusing on but often have many other projects in the back of my mind for several years.

Thinking is my hobby. But sometimes you get to where you're stuck and you can't figure it out, so you just go work on another project. I always have multiple projects.

I'll be totally honest in that I feel tremendously lucky that I am offered incredible jobs all the time to direct, but the problem that I have just personally is that there are only so many years in my life to dedicate to certain projects.

I would like the thrill of making a new project every time.

I'm not going to allow myself to second-guess projects. I'm just going to do the ones that I fully love and believe in - that's a real privilege.

It's a blessing to find a project you feel you have to make or you'll die.

My greatest love in life is to develop projects. I just get a huge kick out of that. I've been doing it since ever I could.
