I Think People Are Universal.

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.

There's Only One Movie In My Career I've Had Regrets With Cutting It Shorter, And I Think Some Scenes Maybe I Shouldn't Have Cut.

I Think People Are Universal.

If The Movie Is Quiet I Generally Feel The Audience Is Busy. That's When They're Working.

Directing, I Get All Kinds Of Inspiration. It's Working With People. It's A Lot More Fun.
