“I think that the problem with the CGI is that it's become a default. It's become the lazy way out.”

“In the end, you have to make a movie that makes you laugh.”

“The great thing about being a filmmaker is that you're always a student.”

“Everybody has a secret world inside of them. I mean everybody. All of the people in the whole world, no matter how dull and boring they are on the outside.”
