I love to make movies about young people - young scientists that are inventing things and all the writing they did was very funny and very true.

I like to say that lighting is about taking the light away. I often like to use the shadows more than the light.

For me, movies should be visual. If you want dialogue, you should read a book.

There is something missing in a lot of digital filmmaking, something I call "poetic reality." That's something you see played out in film noir, where the technique establishes the mood.

You can't just stick with what you know, you have to evolve.

They have terrified my poor wife and threatened my very person!" Halt eyed the man impassivley until the outburst was finished. Worse than that," he said quietly, "they've wasted my time.

Music was not a big deal to me when I was in middle school. And then I slowly became a big jazz fan. Even more than concerts, a lot of my high school time was spent going to jazz clubs in the city.

When we get jealous, we tell stories to ourselves about other people. Jealousy makes you look for intensity rather than accuracy.

Faith is the highest passion in a man.

To me, comedy is just twisting reality. It's commenting or observing or twisting life.
