I Wasn't A Big Fan Of Social

Noah Was This Sort Of Patron Saint In My Life. When I Finished Pi And I Started To Think About What Was Next, I Was Like, "wow, It's Interesting That No One Has Done A Film Of One Of The Greatest Stories Ever Told." Even If You're Not A Jew, A Muslim, Or A Christian, You Likely Have A Flood Story In Your Culture.

I Grew Up In A Family With Two Very Strong Women, My Mother And My Older Sister, And They Were Big Influences On My Life. I've Spent A Life Loving Women, And Studying Them As Much As I Can, Or Am Allowed To.

I've Been Joking That If Madonna Taught Us Anything, You've Got To Reinvent Yourself. I Think It's Important As A Filmmaker, As Any Person Working In The Arts, That You've Got To Try New Stuff And Challenge Yourself And Take Chances. I've Tried To Take A Chance With Every Film I've Done - I've Never Done It The Easy Way, And I Think That's Because That's What Excites Me, Is Making As Big A Mountain As I Can In Front Of Me, And Just Trying To Mount It.

I Think That There's An Infinite Amount Of Places Where You Can Stick A Camera. There's An Infinite Amount Of Choices Of What Could Be Going On. There's An Infinite Amount Of Places For So Many Things, So You Have To Figure Out How To Do Your Job.

It Would Be Nice To Make A Movie That Other People Want To Make, Because Every One Of These Movies, I Basically Have To Find The Only Company In The World That's Willing To Make It, And It's Always A Big Challenge. I End Up Spending A Tremendous Amount Of Energy And Time Trying To Get Money To Make These Movies And It's Exhausting.
