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.

I'm a cruel man to myself.

I am grateful for the grace to see, to hear, to talk, to feel, to smell, to taste and to walk.

In the space of his years, my body had taken its full shape and my heart had grown in wisdom, for I understood what it was to be a mother.

Freely the subject makes himself what he is, never in this life is the making finished, always it is in process, always it is a precarious achievement that can slip and fall and shatter.

I am so happy that I didn't have children. Well, you know, because I've had freedom.

Boys, if you don't stick together, how do you expect me to follow you-ah?

Better a broken promise than none at all.

The whole point of the punk-rock thing was that "We're not special. We just have a voice."

Bring individuality into things, do not just be an imitator. To imitate is to miss life.

Life is a festival only to the wise.

I love to play; a stage is a safe place for me to be. It's not that way for most folks, but I'd be lost without it.
