The best stories infuse wonder.

Well, executive producer can mean anything in the world of Hollywood, sadly. It can be a bought title in many instances.

I almost feel like it's an obligation to not further the status quo if you become somebody with influence and exposure.

I've always been shocked and waiting-for-the-other-shoe-to-drop that a girl would ever talk to me, let alone want to marry me. They always seem to hold the power to me, and from my mother to my wife to my daughter, every time I try to really figure them out, and think I've got them pegged, I pay for it.

I almost feel like its an obligation to not further the status quo if you become somebody with influence and exposure. I dont want to paint the same painting again. I dont want to make the same sculpture again. Why shouldnt a big movie studio be able to make those small independent kinds of pictures? Why not change it up?

There's a lot of downsides to social media, but one of the nice things is that you can cut through all the BS and go straight to the person and ask them directly. I think that's a wonderful thing. I love talking to people who are true fans or who have a true love of cinema, and so if I can talk to them directly, great.

I've always felt you unearth story, like you're on an archeological dig.

I've been a fan of movies longer than anything else. One thing I learned a long time ago is that you can't translate a book literally to the screen. It won't work because it's a different medium. And it would be the same in reverse.

I'm also a huge cinephile, and I have witnessed that to honor the book literally word-for-word never makes a good movie.

If you don't think a film looks good then that is just a reflection of how bad the artist was that was using the paint that is really good.

Frankly, there isn't anyone you couldn't learn to love once you've heard their story.
