I go out and look for a good story to tell and if I like it enough and I decide to direct it, I become dangerously involved in becoming a part of that story.

I always think if it's a good story, the audience can't wait to run out of the theater and go tweet somebody with the gist of a story, in a nutshell, almost, because it was that interesting.

All I wanted to do was to follow my passion and tell a good story.

In my books I try to tell a good story, not give messages.

The key is a good story. If you have a good story, you have enough emotional beats that you can hit.

Be unpredictable, be real, be interesting. Tell a good story.
