"I’ve always had very intense friendships. And friendship is so important in film because it’s all about taste. It’s like you’ve had a dream you want to recreate, and you have to hire 150 people and explain the details of what you saw in your head so they can execute it. So it’s important that they have the same kind of ‘vision’ as you. So when you find people who you share taste with, you keep them close. It saves time. And if they’re fun, and nice, and beardy and cuddly like a little gonk, that’s all the better."
