Quotes:
“I play for a living…Success is tied to a feeling of magic, which I can protect.”
“My hope is we broke so many rules we created a new rule.”
“The idea is to always go for the thing that’s risky. I want to be courageous and original. And original means, you don’t know what ‘colour’ movie you just saw.”
“Movie making is not like other artforms, like painting, or writing a novel, because that can be disgested or interpreted… It takes two years to make each one of these, and it’s always judged on money.”
