• Bad acting, like bad writing, has a remarkable uniformity, whether seen on the French, German, or English stages; it all seems modeled after two or three types, and those the least like types of good acting. The fault generally lies less in the bad imitation of a good model, than in the successful imitation of a bad model.

• It's been reinforced to me, and it's a little cliche, but I've learned that you can't make a movie that even works, much less that's good, without really good writing and really good acting. That lesson has led me to not be distracted, so much, by the other stuff going on in filmmaking and to focus on the essence of a story, and the words and the events and the way that those are interpreted by the actors. That philosophy has taken me to a place that I really like.

• Personalmente, me gusta la combustión lenta; no creo que tenga nada de malo. Cuando pienso en las películas que más me han impactado como espectador, pienso en el Embrujo original y El Exorcista, El Bebé de Rosemary, El Sexto Sentido, Los Otros. Estas películas no son para nada exageradas, son películas que se basan en una buena narración, una buena interpretación, una buena premisa, una buena exposición y quiero mantenerme fiel a eso en futuros proyectos.
