“There's a series of children's books called A Series of Unfortunate Events, which is like an incredibly dark version of Roald Dahl. I hope to start directing it.”

“I haven't read a review of one of my films for the best part of 10 years.”

“I really wanted Michael Jackson to be in the first Men in Black, but he didn't want to be considered as an alien!”

“Somehow I had a lot of the skills that I didn't know were required for directing. I didn't realize that my life had been leading in that direction.”

“Sometimes it's difficult directing yourself on film because you can't quite separate yourself from the subject.”

“I've learned more about directing from five years of television than I could have in ten years of film.”
