It's not that we like sad movies that make us feel like, 'Oh, my God, what a bummer.' We like emotionally moving experiences. It's nothing new. It's catharsis. It goes back to the Greeks.

We like movies and books that give us this emotionally moving experience, where you feel like a slightly different person, and you see the world a little different after you finish. It lets you see your own life in a different way, and it actually makes you feel really good.

I can't pretend to be a teenager, but I feel like I never really stopped being a teenager.

There is nothing new except what has been forgotten.

There is nothing new in art except talent.

Forward momentum. That's my new motto. No regrets. And no going back.
