focus feelings demand
Whenever I've directed something, there's this feeling of demand and focus that I like.
mediums
I'm literally open to any medium that will have me.
stars war thinking
You know, we didn't want to kill anyone, but we knew that "Star Wars" is a generational tale. It always is. And for it to have some guts and some resonance and true stakes, I don't think that everyone could have come through the story unscathed.
technology ideas giving
I love the idea of anthropomorphizing machines. I love the idea of taking technology and giving it a personality.
movie-love creatures performances
I love movies with spectacle but spectacle can be a performance, it doesn't have to be a creature.
stars war president
Well, when Kathy Kennedy, who is the president of Lucasfilm, came to me to ask if I'd be interested in working on this "Star Wars" movie, we talked about a young woman at the center of the story from the outset. And it was something that was always an important part of this movie.
recording-music
I love recording music.
running theory
I have nothing against 3-D in theory. But I've also never run to the movies because something's in 3-D.
tvs looks standards
I feel like obviously the standard for what TV looks like changes all the time.
lucky firsts
I am lucky, I'm the first to admit that.
stars war kids
As a kid, 'Star Wars' was much more my thing than 'Star Trek' was.
block tears want
Whenever a toddler sees a pile of blocks, he wants to tear it down.
hate mean stuff
I hate to look at the stuff I've written and consider what it means or why I do it.
have-faith discussion hard
I find that it's hard to fully examine one's life and not have faith be part of the discussion.
