I Have One Of The Original 'ghostbusters'

And I Certainly Like Being On A Plane, Next To A Stranger, Having Conversations That You'd Never Otherwise Have. You're Unplugged, Your Phone Doesn't Work, You're Not Online.

I Think Romance Is A Tool, Comedy Is A Tool And Drama Is A Tool. I Really Just Want To Tell Stories That Challenge The Viewer, Move People, Make You Laugh, Perhaps Push An Idea About Being Open-minded But Never Settle On A Genre Or An Opinion. I Hate Genre. I Like Movies That Are Original In Their Approach.

I Think It's A Mistake For Young Filmmakers To Just Buy Digital Equipment And Shoot A Feature. Make Short Films First, Make Your Mistakes And Learn From Them.

I Want My Movies To Be Audience Experiences. As Much As I Like Michael Haneke, I'm Not Going To Make A Haneke Film. That's Just Not In My Dna.

Each One Of My Films Is Personal; Each One Of My Films Is Emotionally Autobiographical. And I Like Directors Who Do That.
