I’m not one to dwell on rehearsal or preparation.

As a spectator, I have very eclectic taste, whether it’s comedies or action or very small, intimate films. And I feel as a filmmaker I should be able to have that same eclectic taste.

If a film is very clever and well-written, that’s what gives you freedom as a director.

I think the best thing I learned from drawing comics is that it’s a great exercise in concision.

You may think it’s very presumptuous, but I really hope that my movies are going to turn people into better people.

I’m not one to dwell on rehearsal or preparation. I like to just go out and do it. Of course, that doesn’t mean actors are free to do whatever they like, they’re always being directed.

My movies are, more or less, very short. I’m terrified of boring an audience.

No, but it’s not because I’m getting older that I’m trying to accelerate. But something very curious is happening: The older I get, the more ideas I’m getting.

But I won’t work with the exact same crew film after film because I feel the work would get a little complacent.

I did the drawing and writing – for five years. I made a lot of short films the whole while and I made a promise to myself in front of the mirror that I would stop drawing when I signed my first contract for a feature film.
