'angel Heart' Was One Of My Favorite

I Think Video Games And That Stuff Should Be As Violent As Possible, But Age-appropriate. It Should Be Realistic. When It's Not Realistic You Run Into Kids Running Around Shooting People And Not Realizing The Consequences.

I Don't Think I Make Genre Films. I Think Studios Try To Sell Films As Genres Because They Know How To Do That. There's Nothing Wrong With That. I Don't Know What I Make. It's Sort Of A Pot Roast, All My Films.

Noah Was This Sort Of Patron Saint In My Life. When I Finished Pi And I Started To Think About What Was Next, I Was Like, "wow, It's Interesting That No One Has Done A Film Of One Of The Greatest Stories Ever Told." Even If You're Not A Jew, A Muslim, Or A Christian, You Likely Have A Flood Story In Your Culture.

I've Been Joking That If Madonna Taught Us Anything, You've Got To Reinvent Yourself. I Think It's Important As A Filmmaker, As Any Person Working In The Arts, That You've Got To Try New Stuff And Challenge Yourself And Take Chances. I've Tried To Take A Chance With Every Film I've Done - I've Never Done It The Easy Way, And I Think That's Because That's What Excites Me, Is Making As Big A Mountain As I Can In Front Of Me, And Just Trying To Mount It.

The Whole Visual Language Of The Movie Is Developed Way Before We Get To Set. Especially When You're Doing Visual Effects And You Don't Have A Lot Of Money To Mess Around, Which We Didn't, You Have To Really Preplan Everything. Pretty Much Every Shot In The Film Was Figured Out Months Before We Got To Set.
