I Always Wanted 'sideways' To Be Like

Comedy Is A Wonderful Device For Distance That Allows Us To Look At What We're Talking About With Some Degree Of Distance And Hopefully With A Bit More Perspective And Honesty. With Many Exceptions, A Movie With No Jokes Is Far Less Appealing To Me.

I've Always Approached Screenplays And So Forth With, "how Would It Really Happen?" Not "what's The Movie Version?" But "what's The Real-life Version?" Then I Just Follow My Nose.

A Lot Of Documentaries Have Been Made Very Quickly, But I Think They're Like Frogs In An Ecosystem: They're Harbingers. Film Is Always Two Or Three Years Behind, Because It Takes So Long To Write A Script, Get Financing, And Get It Made. It Just Takes A While. But I Think It's Coming. It Has To.

Somewhat Dramatic Things Happen, And You Don't Even Always Notice Them — That's What Life Is.

You Just Never Know When You're Living In A Golden Age.
