I've always wanted to do a world creation story and visually create this amazing, incredible, magical kingdom.

For me, the sound design and the musical score is a big part of what makes scary movies work.

I think the financial restraint really pushes me as a director to be more creative with the way I shoot the film.

I think you can say a lot with the movement of your camera but you can also say a lot by keeping it still.

We're not just horror fans. We're film fans. I love action films. I want to do action films. I want to do romantic comedies. I love all this stuff. So, if I find the good material, I'll do it.

I always believe your instinct is the most correct instinct.

You know music and sound design can be very powerful with how you use it but also the absence of sound can say a lot as well.

The whole wide world scares me! Seriously. I think what happens in our world is so much more frightening than anything I can come up with in my movies.

There's really no reason to rehash something that you've already seen.

I think you cannot be too complacent. I think that's dangerous and you cannot take anything for granted.

I'm a big movie fan, and I want to make movies in every genre. I want to make my romantic comedy one day.

What I'm asking you to entertain is that there is nothing we need to believe on insufficient evidence in order to have deeply ethical and spiritual lives.

I was a vacant room. Inside, the music produces only a dry, hollow echo.

Ignorance never yet helped anybody.

At the heart of all of mankind’s achievements is imagination.

A feeling of discouragement when you slip up is a sure sign that you put your faith in deeds

When words cease to cling close to things, kingdoms fall, empires wane and diminish.

You know it's hard to hear what a bearded man is saying. He can't speak above a whisker.

Clear intentions and clear purpose begets clear results.

To be a great leader, first become a great person.

If you're doing live-action, you have to learn how to actually do whatever it is that you're doing. If you're doing voice-over, you can fake it.
