When I was growing up in the eighties, there was a real nostalgic streak for the fifties. Look at 'Back to the Future.'

The thing I do miss about the way some sequels were in the past was that each film felt like its own unique, complete tone. Now, sequels are tonal facsimiles of the ones before them, like a television series, whereas back in the past sequels would often be radically different from the ones before.

My goal from the very beginning was to make very visually lush, juicy films that you can really sink your teeth into. That's always been part of my modus operandi.

We moved around a lot when I was younger. I never really felt at home until we moved to Canada, but even then, I always felt strangely out of place and alien.

I fear dying. Anything with pain associated with it, I don't like.

I was dying but suddenly had a second chance at living.

I believe that fear of life brings a greater fear of death.

The first funeral for Andrew Goodman was at night and it was a lot of work. To begin with they had to kill him.
