    "That's the kind of 
movie that I like to make, 
where there is an invented 
reality and the audience is 
going to go someplace 
where hopefully they've 
never been before. The 
details, that's what the 
world is made of.

When you're 11 or 12 years old, 
you can get so swept up in a book 
that you start to believe that the 
fantasy is reality. I think when you 
have a giant crush when you're in 
fifth grade, it becomes your whole 
world. It's like being underwater; 
everything is different."
