It's hard for a hit to be bad for your career.

I just like movies that somehow expose the world in a way that's different than you imagine it.

I'm really influenced by so many different things.

I really love sort of classical cinema where people were telling stories with very little dialogue, and people were using the camera in a really interesting way.

After living in LA for 8 years, I sort of wanted a change, but there's not much production in New York, which is where I primarily live, so I just sort of drifted over to London.

Like I said about Freaked, people tend to find these films, and I think that in the end the cool thing about a movie is that it can be sort of burnt temporarily, but then it's burnt into the fabric of your culture.

But it is funny, because I saw Unbreakable recently and it's a strange movie, I didn't mind it, and it's got some interesting things going on.

I think movies are good for getting into dream states or exploring weird alternate states of thinking.

With Fever, the film was so made for the screen, and there's so much surround sound that was done for the film - enormous detail paid to that. I wasn't thinking video, because I didn't know how it was going to turn out.

Same thing, like my commercials are often times really funny because I tend to find 30 seconds is a really good amount of time to tell a joke.

The trick of making movies in this culture is how to not give up everything that makes them worthwhile in order to get them made - and that's a tricky balance.

Hitchcock had to fight to the death to make his movies.
