“When you're relegated to go from movie to movie, so much of what you're doing is out of your control beyond creating the product.”
“If you don't spend the time you need on developing characters and finding stories, complicated stories, the audience gets tired because they think they're seeing the same thing again and again.”
“Everybody always asks us how we choose the movies we have going right now, and it's hard to explain sometimes. There's a randomness to the way things kind of happen and get done. And sometimes you have this perfect storm, and you have to accept that and do the best you can.”
“If all you're doing is playing it safe - trying to make the same movie over and over again - that's when the audiences say, 'Oh, this is just a moneymaking machine.' But if it's genuinely in service to the art form, then the franchise concept is being used in a way that's exciting.”
“My life is organized chaos.”
“It's not fun to lose.”
“It's funny where life can take you.”
“It's not just about casting female protagonists. It's gotta be across the board throughout the industry.”
