"The movies have not undermined the influence of fiction. On the contrary, they have extended its field, carrying the ideas which are already current among readers to those too young, too impatient, or too uneducated to read."

we're probably not changing the world
"At the end of the day, we're probably not changing the world with most of the images we're making. Instead, I think the main opportunity to contribute to the greater good is through the relational aspect of what we do as artists. We meet and interact with people form all over the world, all the time. The ability to go beyond the creation of images and to develop a camaraderie with people ... is important. Those relationships will likely last longer than the typical lifespan of an image."
lift the lives of others
"Share your Must, and in so doing, lift the lives of others. ... When you choose Must, you inspire others to choose it, too."
the fun of a shocker
"How I love the fun of a shocker, the I-had-no-idea-wouldn't-have-guessed-in-a-million-years surprise. My jaded self reads the summary of a movie or book and thinks, 'Well, I know what that will be about. No thank you.'" How I love to be proven wrong."
no compromise
"As an artist, you want as many people to see your work as possible with no compromise. .... I don't want to .... have it watered down, and follow a soap opera, and have all the edges filed down and have someone interfere. .... Delivering the exact thing that I made ... that's so important to me, you know, that's, I said, the ideal of the most beautiful and purest thing. And it's how little it can be ruined from your brain to the observer. And that's the way you do everything yourself, really, because, you know, I've probably only produced and directed to protect my writing, the idea, you know?"
