If I Could Steal Someone's Dream Myself,

I'm A Very Fortunate Person. I Get To Choose The Movies That I Want To Do. I Have A Lot Of Friends In This Industry That Don't Get To Do That. I Grew Up In L.a. A Lot Of My Friends Are Actors So I Realize Every Day How Lucky I Am To Have This Opportunity, So While I'm Here, I'm Going To Try To Do Exactly What I Want.

One Of The Things You Do As A Writer And As A Filmmaker Is Grasp For Resonant Symbols And Imagery Without Necessarily Fully Understanding It Yourself.

I Remember The Initial Genesis Quite Clearly. My Interest In Dreams Comes From This Notion Of Realizing That When You Dream You Create The World That You Are Perceiving, And I Thought That Feedback Loop Was Pretty Amazing.

Every Film Should Have Its Own World, A Logic And Feel To It That Expands Beyond The Exact Image That The Audience Is Seeing.

If You're Going To Perform Inception, You Need Imagination. You Need The Simplest Version Of The Idea-the One That Will Grow Naturally In The Subject's Mind. Subtle Art.
