I think part of making movies is dealing with restrictions of freedom and budget. I’d rather deal with restrictions of budget. It’s better to feel free within any budget.

I’m a movement Nazi. It used to be my way before. Now, in the last three projects. I found a way to let the actors find their comfort and still find the precision in the show. It’s a change in me.

I’m a big fan of the Harry Potter books, but I’d love to do one where one of the kids dies, or one of the main characters dies. I love for those things to have a little bit more tragedy.

Ghosts are a metaphor that can be interpreted so many different ways. There’s no ending to what you can do. You can make it a fun ghost story. You can make it a deeply disturbing, psychological ghost story.

I think once a Catholic, always a Catholic. You never escape. I still have Catholic guilt. It is in its basis a really powerful religion and a really strong set of beliefs. They permeate my work in many ways.

I am the nice adversary, the guy that’s going to ask the tough questions and is not going to be happy with the quick answer.

People think you’re like The Godfather, waiting for scripts to come in. But, you’re hustling, you’re desperate, you’re panicked and you’re horrified. The movie you think you’re going to do next, you don’t do. The movie you think you’re never going to do, you make.

When somebody says something I don’t agree with, I say I’d rather not. It comes to the point where that is the strongest form of resistance. As a Mexican, it took me a long while to learn one word in English, “no”. And that is the one word we have in common.
