I think I take what you might call a B-movie story, deal with B-movie subjects, and I treat it as if it's an A-movie in terms of my approach, my crew, my actors, my ethics and so on. I guess that's my trademark or one of them, anyway!

Are you in my dream too?

I’ve been asked to direct pilots for a lot of shows.

Most of the time, I don’t watch classics with anybody. I have to be by myself. That’s my classroom.

Here’s how Andreas Schleicher, who directs those PISA tests, puts it: “The best way to find out whether what students have learned at school matters for their life is to actually watch what happens to them after they leave school.

You don’t want to watch classics with me ’cause I’m constantly writing notes.

I want to make a bunch of small movies. I’m really interested in that for me in the future.

Now that we know who you are, I know who I am. I’m not a mistake! It all makes sense! In a comic, you know how you can tell who the arch-villain’s going to be? He’s the exact opposite of the hero. And most times they’re friends, like you and me! I should’ve known way back when... You know why, David? Because of the kids. They called me Mr Glass.

I’m from that world where I feel so comfortable making small independent movies.

There’s no staying where you were. If you’re not doing anything, your skills and point of view are atrophying.
