The stuff I'm passionate about is what I write; it isn't multi-million-dollar franchise movies.

I actually keep having this one recurring dream where I'm a little number standing in a line of other numbers that look identical to me. Then there are more and more of these numbers that follow me, again and again and again. It's more of a nightmare.

Within the family unit, you have people you grew up with who are supposed to be your brother, father, or your mother who are almost like strangers and acquaintances.

I've always felt that I wanted to make a Marvel film... I just want to make sure I'm not making an episode.

Anyone who has a parent can relate to this idea of not quite understanding who your parents are or making up stories about them.

My style of working is I'll often be behind the camera, or right next to the camera yelling words at people, like, 'Say this, say this! Say it this way!' I'll straight-up give Anthony Hopkins a line reading. I don't care.

It was never really my plan to become a filmmaker.

I think our first heroes with whom we discover flaws are our parents.

You make up a character, there's always gonna be parts of you that, like it or not, shine through.
