I Don't Have A Checklist. Whatever Material

A Movie Is Really Provocation. It's Not A Message, It's Not A Statement.

Thinking Back To Those Earlier Days, I Felt I Was Weak When I Wasn't Making Movies, And Then When I Was, I Thought I Was Weak As A Family Member.

Only One Time In My Career I Had That Feeling [that This Is Not Gonna Get Made], It Was For This Movie [life Of Pi]. It Was Right Before We Started The Physical Pre-production. I Pre-visualized The Whole Ocean Part Before We Made The Movie, I Was That Prepared. At One Point They Seemed To Want To Drop It Because It Was Really Risky. The Budget We Proposed Was A Lot Higher Than They Expected, They Wanted To [drop It]. After All, It's A Philosophical Book And A Literature Property, It's Not Batman.

3d Is Quite A Lot More Advanced In Animated Movies; For Live-action Movies We're Just Taking Baby Steps, We're Just In The Beginning.

I Did A Women's Movie, And I'm Not A Woman. I Did A Gay Movie, And I'm Not Gay. I Learned As I Went Along.
