I've never been a fan of whimsical or confusing storytelling.
I've always been into having stories told to me. I was a voracious reader, my father was also a teller of tales; and the kind of Baron Munchausen proxy of a tall tale was much more interesting than a true tale.
I had always been wary of doing any autobiographical movies, truly feeling at home with fiction.
Sick children, if not too shy to speak, will always express this wish. They invariably prefer a story to be told to them, rather than read to them.
I miss doing a series, but I don't want to do a series for a series' sake.
I'm not a one-liner guy. I'm a story guy.
I don't like long jokes. I like stories rather than setup punchlines.
I am not comfortable with abstract writing, stories that look like essays: you have to see, I need to see.
I have to say my favorite stories are ghost stories. I don't like to see these made-up monster films or scary films with ghosts. It doesn't do anything to me. But a real ghost story that someone tells me, that I like.
