I've worked really hard to build up a career on my own. I turned 30 recently and it took me a long time to get the chance to make a feature film and do it on my own terms.

Life and career kind of catches up with you.

I want to do my Blade Runner, which is like a future Berlin film, which is like a thriller, but it's much deeper characters, I think.

One of the biggest changes for me on a practical level of shooting the film was having a second unit.

I think I was brought up with games and I don't think that they're just Pac-Man or Space Invaders. I think we've moved on, I think that there are stories being told and worlds being explored.

Every film I try and make it the way I see it in my head, and it really just depends on the script and the people I'm working with or whatever interests me at that particular time.

I want to have the illegitimate child of independent film making and the budget to make it. That's my aspiration.

Sometimes there's a disjoint between what works on the page and what works with visual story telling.

I played lots of games and I was a fan of gaming, so I was always looking for new games.

Fantasy films tend to skew towards what Tolkien fantasy was, which is that the humans, the Hobbits and the cute creatures are the good guys, and everything that's ugly are the bad guys.

I think that idea of being far away from the people that you love is something that everyone can relate to.

Just remember, honey, you only have one heart.

One thing I want to teach my son is sensitivity to other people. I want to teach him not to be this macho freak.

When a man is right with God, God will freely use him.

In fact, an information theory that leaves out the issue of noise turns out to have no content.

Devotion is a place where you do not exist; life just flows through you as a certain sweetness and beauty.

Whoever is holding the power says, "Yeah, let's keep things civil and quiet." Whoever's outside say's, "No, I'm not going to keep things civil and quiet, I'm going to bang on the door."

I believe correcting is the positive approach. I believe in the positive approach. Always have.

you cannot hope for change in others, you can only work toward it in yourself. And that's hard work.

It is the docile who achieve the most impossible things in this world.

I was wishing I'd bought some of that Camp Half Blood orange thermal underwear..." ?!?!
