“I want all of my films to be grounded in reality, and I think 'Midnigh...” — Jeff Nichols Quote

“I want all of my films to be grounded in reality, and I think 'Midnight Special' is the most grounded film I've ever made, in spite of its genre.”

“When my son was 8 months old, he had a febrile seizure. You know, if you're in the first year - my wife and I refer to it as the 'darkness.' You're just underwater.”

“Your whole life is changed with that first child. Your social behaviors are all turned upside down, you're sleep deprived, but eight months in, my son had this seizure, and it just woke me up to the idea that, oh, no, this can end. And it can end in a way that will destroy you forever.”

“Genre labels are useful only insofar as they help you find an audience.”

“The sci-fi genre just happens to have a lot of really great characters for women.”

“My dad was on 'Zombieland,' and I love that movie. So yeah, I think I like the horror genre!”
