I’ve always wanted to introduce hip-hop filmmaking to film. There’s hip-hop art, dance, music, but there really isn’t hip-hop film. So I was trying to do that.

Animators have to live life 24 times as long as we do – every 24 frames of a second.

I don’t make films that are easy to market, unfortunately. I think that ‘Pi’ was the easiest one, because we had that symbol to stick up everywhere, so that was a good gimmick, and created a good mystery, and we didn’t have to do huge scale.

I think I came to film-making through writing. I started to write, and people, teachers, responded to my writing.

The ’90s were a party, I mean definitely maybe not for the grunge movement, but people were partying harder in the ’90s than they were in the ’80s. The ’90s was Ecstasy, the ’80s was yuppies.

When people think about the ark, they’re always thinking about all the thousands of years of religious iconography of a ship with a bow and a deck, where Noah and the giraffes could walk around. In the actual written text it is basically described as a long, rectangular box.

It’s not that much of a difference. Basically, your job is the same as a film director. It’s a triangle between creativity, money, and time. But they don’t really change. You’re ultimately trying to get the most creativity and time with the money that you have.

CGI means, just to be clear, creating any type of image with a computer. Basically, starting off with nothing, or with images and manipulating them.

I was 12 or 13 years old. So I started to write poetry and fiction, even though I was really into biology because my dad was a science teacher. I kept writing all those years.

When I go to movies I generally want to be taken to another world.

I’ve spent a life loving women and studying them as much as I can, or am allowed to.

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.

If you think of that, as a parent, you know that if you have too much justice and you’re too strict, you destroy a child. If you have too much mercy, as a parent, you destroy a child as well. A big part of this movie is Noah finding mercy for man.

To me, watching a movie is like going to an amusement park. My worst fear is making a film that people don’t think is a good ride.

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.

I think it’s my nature to try and make original content, and that’s what I’ve done, is just try and approach things in an original way, and do things differently.
