My taste in films doesn't lead financers to think they are going to make a zillion dollars.

I don't know about relationships. Maybe I'm supposed to travel and make films and meet people and have adventures instead.

I just want to make something that is true to itself and that interests me; otherwise, how can I have the audacity to think it's going to interest anybody else?

I've noticed that when people make vampire movies, they're always determining which of the rules they're going to stick to and which they'll abandon.

There are so many people I know who could be the greatest film-maker but who will never get the chance to make a movie; it's all about what somebody is going to make back. There are not a lot of romantic ideas about making movies anymore.

I think of making a movie in such a romantic way.
