I Don't Call Cut Between The Takes

I Kind Of Like The Idea Of Taking A Concept And Going All The Way With It, Even If It's Not Completely Plausible. It's Something That I Like About Making Movies. You Have A Concept That Maybe Would Not Work In Real Life, But You Can Make It Work In The World You're Creating.

I'm Just Saying To Everyone. The Director Does Not Direct The Trailer. It's An Edited Version That Takes So Many Moments Of The Movie, Sometimes It's Not Even In The Movie. The Director Does The Movie. So Don't Judge The Director Based On The Trailer. Please.

I'm Going To Work With Dan Clowes. After Charlie Kaufman, It's Hard To Fill Up The Gap. It's Hard To Find Somebody Who... A Lot Of Writers, I Can Clearly See The Desire Of Succeeding Before The Desire Of Expressing Themselves. Sometimes People Get Upset When You Want To Be Different. You Were Talking About "whimsical," Which Is A Nice Word. But Sometimes They Use The Word "quirky" In The Pejorative Sense. I Get Frustrated, Because They Feel Like I'm Doing Whatever I Want, And There Is No Ground, And I Don't Really Care. They Feel It's Cynical. But I Don't Think I Have Any Cynicism In Me.

You Can't Feel Sorry For A Scene. If The Movie Works Without The Scene, Then You Don't Need The Scene.

You Need Philosophy. It Sounds A Little Pompous But I Think When You Direct A Film, The Only Way To Find A Response To The Questions You Keep Asking Yourself Is To Have A Philosophy.
