#Quote
1A big fear of working with an actor that's never been a lead in a film before is that you're going to have to work really hard to pull a performance out of her.
2In editing, it's amazing how you choose the in and out points. What you cut on is everything for creating tension. It's amazing how expanding a shot by five seconds can just ruin the tension.
3You know, when you're isolated on set for like a month, people like to get rowdy.
4The way brainwashing works is subtle and takes a long time.
5When I hire actors I believe in their abilities.
6When you write, no matter what, it ends up personal.
7You can't write something to please someone.
8What I learned from directing, I learned from soccer, where it's like a coach-player relationship.
9I would like to do a sports movie.
10I'm a believer in film school.
11The trappings of a religious cult tend to fall into candlelit ceremonies and robes and group chanting and singing and prayer.
12It's sort of one ongoing process where writing ends and directing starts.
13I'm interested in adapting books and all sorts of things.
14Well, first of all, making films is a collaborative process. You need people. You need people you trust and love and who are your friends. People you can work with.
15I love the first hour of a horror movie, the fear and anticipation. Then, when it gets bloody, I lose interest.
16Sports teams, people who follow sports teams, religion, churches, work - any company, I find that people just generally have a need to belong to something larger than themselves.
17When I was a kid, I was afraid of large group of conforming people.
18When someone stays with you and they're not your guest, even when they are your guest they get on your nerves. When people visit for long periods of time, that just happens.
19I always try to keep the confidence of the actors, and try my best to make them feel comfortable or confident.
20I won't rewrite on set, but I'll just trim the fat.
21Filmmaking is a real craft.
22Yeah, in my scripts, I don't tend to describe landscape too clearly because I like to keep it really basic and sort of let people paint their own picture. I don't find it helpful to spend a page describing a setting, except for maybe a few key things.
23I went to my first college to play soccer.
24When people leave cults, they don't know that they left a cult.
25I wasn't good enough to be a professional soccer player obviously but that was my first goal in life.
26When I was a little kid, I loved horror films. I always liked being scared.
27I remember being at school during morning meeting and looking around at everybody, 350 kids, saying a prayer. We're all very young and no one knows what it means, and I remember feeling strange that people were just repeating words that they didn't understand. I refused to participate. For some reason I always rejected it, but respectfully.
28I was really into writing short fiction and also photography when I was a kid.
29I think as a child I was really afraid of groups that conformed. Cults were really an example of that. I'm attracted to fear. I'm attracted to movies that scare you. I knew I would just end up working in that realm.
