I think I'm a very sentimental person. Conscious or not, that's what draws me to the kind of films I want to make.

There's two aspects of film crafting that I'm very strict about, and that's how I move my camera and where I cut the film.

As a director you're always so busy - you're go, go, go, you're always moving, moving, moving - so I'm not actually privy to all the weird stuff that's happening around me, but for a lot of the cast and crew, that's what I hear stories from them about weird stuff happening.

I love the idea of being the underdog, coming in with a take on this underdog character and completely blow people's expectations away. Like, 'Oh, you thought he was going to be a wimpy character? No no no.'

James Wan 22 quotes

I'm very heavily involved in ...

I'm very heavily involved in the editorial post-production process, and the camera - it's just such a big part of my storytelling language. I like creating the tension; I like creating the emotion through the movement of my camera, or the lack of movement through my camera, depending on what fits the scene best.

When you're making a bigger movie, you have much bigger set pieces that require more time and more effort and more people.

James Wan 22 quotes

One of the things I learned very early on is you need to cast the kids for the characters you want them to play. They need to be who they are, right? If you want a loud, boisterous kid character, you need to find that kid.

I think you cannot be too complacent. I think that's dangerous, and you cannot take anything for granted.

James Wan 22 quotes

I always try to better myself...

I always try to better myself with every movie I make. I don't take anything sitting back, and so I try to learn from every film I make and carry that onto the next movie because I think it's important as a filmmaker to keep growing with each film, and I think I am growing with each movie.

For me, what usually makes a horror sequence scary is the journey not the destination.

James Wan 22 quotes

I think, like most people, we are familiar with Aquaman. We grew up reading or watching this character on the peripheral. I was never so in depth with Aquaman as, let's say, I was with X-Men.

I use myself as a measuring yardstick, and so if I come up with an idea that really scares me, then I'd like to think that people out there would feel the same way as well.

My first film out of the gate was financially so successful that I guess, being in Hollywood, you get kind of put into a certain box.

Geoff Johns is super talented, super smart. Part of what got me excited about the Aquaman character is his re-envisioning of Aquaman, the character, with 'The New 52.'
