Heart is what drives us and determines our fate. That is what I need for my characters in my books: a passionate heart. I need mavericks, dissidents, adventurers, outsiders and rebels, who ask questions, bend the rules and take risks.

Yes, there are directors I admire, the mavericks. Altman. There are many good directors.

I write movies about mavericks, about people who break rules, and I don't like movies about people who are pulverised for being mavericks.

Virtually every advancement made by our species since civilization first peeked out of its nest of stone has been initiated by lone individuals, mavericks who more often than not were ignored, mocked, or viciously persecuted by society and its institutions.

The films that I really enjoy now are films that are made by, for wont of a better word, mavericks.

The most successful people are mavericks who aren't afraid to ask why, especially when everyone thinks it's obvious.

I've seen that phenomenally successful people believe they can learn something from everybody. I call them 'mavericks with mentors.' Richard Branson, for instance, is a total maverick but he surrounds himself with incredibly successful, smart people and he listens to them.
