“Obviously 'Pete's Dragon' is more commercial than 'A Ghost Story,' but...” — David Lowery Quote

Obviously 'Pete's Dragon' is more commercial than 'A Ghost Story,' but when making them, I'm just trying to tell a story that matters to me, that ultimately would satisfy me as a moviegoer. Because watching movies is my favorite thing to do. I watch a lot of them.

I love taking something that is understood to be funny or charming or sweet or naive and instilling it with some degree of gravity.

When I was a kid, Santa, the Tooth Fairy, my stuffed animals - they were real. There is the tremendous suspension of disbelief that you have as a child. It's harder as an adult.

I never put a premium on making a living. It was never one of those things that was important to me.

My character was in 'Raya and the Last Dragon' for a second, but that's a win for all trans-kind.

And I plan to write a sequel to Dragon Rider.

There are bands like Imagine Dragon, Grouplove, and fun. who have come along and shifted the way that rock can sound.

With the zodiac, if I wasn't a monkey, or maybe a dragon, I wouldn't talk about it.

I read a lot of the 'Pern books' growing up - basically up through 'All the Weyrs of Pern,' maybe a couple after that. As far as formative dragon influences are concerned, she's probably one of the top ones; I know I read other fantasy novels that had them, but none particularly stick in mind.
