My world was small growing up. I never really left the three-mile radius of my tiny neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley.

Curiosity at work isn't a matter of style. It's much more powerful than that. If you're the boss, and you manage by asking questions, you're laying the foundation for the culture of your company or your group. You're letting people know that the boss is willing to listen.

Now, I'm a pretty fast and avid reader. But you can't learn the same things in a book or on the Internet that you can in a personal talk with somebody.

I think the global mass culture is either consciously or unconsciously sensitized to how vulnerable we are here on the planet.

I find rejection or failure to be a really interesting and valuable experience.

Curiosity is the process of asking questions, genuine questions, that are not leading to an ask for something in return.

In Hollywood, people tend to have the same sensibilities, the same taste and values, and I didn't want to spend my life that way. I wanted to have a bigger, more interesting life.

Where do I get the confidence to be different? A lot of it comes from curiosity. I spent years as a young man trying to understand the business I'm in. I have spent decades staying connected to how the rest of the world works.

I like learning stuff. The more information you can get about a person or a subject, the more you can pour into a potential project. I made a decision to do different things. I want to do things that have a better chance of being thought of as original. I do everything I can to disrupt my comfort zone.

I only make movies that are interesting to me.
