On Originality
When you get a brilliant idea that sounds familiar,
think of a new idea.
On Silly Ideas
The silliest ideas are sometimes good ideas.
On the Importance of Execution
The simplest ideas are usually the best ideas. It’s
the execution that’s a bitch.
On Choosing Projects
Someone’s last film shouldn’t be the main reason you
want to work on their next one.
On Respecting Vision
When working on someone else’s film, work on it, not
your own personal version of it.
On Decision-making
Never be afraid to walk away from a bad deal.
On the Financial Side of Moviemaking
If you can afford it, never work only for money. And
always try to work on films you would pay money to see.
On Having Pride in Your Project
Good work is what’s important; everything else falls
into place once it happens.
