One of the things I've always tried to do in filmmaking is that you don't tell the story, you try to show it.

You certainly can't be a perfect person, coming up with the 100% correct solution, all the time. It's just a combination of a chain of good decisions that comes up with a successful product or a successful film. That's what you hope for. But, nothing about the system is 100% fool proof.

My problem has been with purely digital films. I feel the danger there is that the kind of short-cuts you end up having to take are the ones that are most telling in the main characters.

With all of this new technology at our hand, there is much more opportunity to show and to allow the audience to take in bits of the story on a more subliminal level, as well as the more expository, simply because they are getting things from different ways. It is really interesting to see where that can go.

Even in traditional filmmaking, you're always trying to find novel ways of telling stories, and this is different.

A successful director is someone who has the combination of skills that you can learn, but there's also an intuitive sensibility that they bring to it, that they've developed on their own and that is singular to them.

I love working with other people, and I love the fact that film is a collaborative industry and form of art. You're all working with each other and playing off of each other and getting the best ideas out of everybody.
