The rules are very important in a horror movie.
I don’t want to create responsible shows with lawyers in them. I want to invade people’s dreams.
It’s about women. It’s about power and it’s about women and you just hate those two words in the same sentence, don’t you?
Everything I do is going to contain the message that men who are going to be comfortable with powerful women are going to be more powerful men.
Anything can be good. Even Last Action Hero could’ve been good. There’s an idea somewhere in almost any movie : if you can find something that you love, then you can do it. If you can’t, it doesn’t matter how skilful you are...
I think it’s not inaccurate to say that I had a perfectly happy childhood during which I was very unhappy.
Sometimes people are layered like that. There’s something totally different underneath than what’s on the surface. But sometimes, there’s a third, even deeper level, and that one is the same as the top surface one. Like with pie.

I keep thinking they’re gonna call me. I keep thinking they’re gonna crunch the numbers and think, oh, we can make money with this! And they don’t.
Somebody once asked me if I have anything like faith, and I said I have faith in the narrative. I have a belief in a narrative that is bigger than me, that is alive and I trust will work itself out.
Okay, uh, I’m lost. I’m angry. And I’m armed.
Every time you work on a project, it’s a little vacation from the project you’re working on the other 23 hours. That’s the thing – it replenishes you to do something else.
People used to laugh that academics would study Disney movies. There’s nothing more important for academics to study, because they shape the minds of our children possibly more than any single thing.
