I'm An Atheist. But I Absolutely Love Religions And The Rituals. Even Though I Don't Believe In God. We Celebrate Pretty Much Every Religion In Our Family With The Kids. They Love It, And When They Say, 'are We Jewish?' Or 'are We Catholic?' I Say, 'well, I'm Not, But You Can Choose When You're 18. But Isn't This Fun That We Do Seders And The Advent Calendar?'

There Is Nothing In This World That I Am Prouder Of Than My Ability To Feel, To Survive And, Yes, To Be A Fool For What I Love And Believe In.

Every Movie Changes You. The Process Of Making A Film Changes You. You Have To Be Obsessed, You Have To Get Up At 3 In The Morning And Go "wait, I Have An Idea!"

Every One Of Those Answers Has To Come From Some Personal Place, And In Order To Do That, You Can't Sit On The Surface. It's Such A Big Change That You Can't Really Explain It To Anyone Else.

There Are Lots Of Futurists That Spend Their Whole Life Trying To Figure Out Who We're Going To Be In 40, 50, 60, 100 Years. That's The Great Thing About Science Fiction.
