I Don't Know How Much Movies Should

Directing Ain't About Drawing A Neat Little Picture And Showing It To The Cameraman. I Didn't Want To Go To Film School. I Didn't Know What The Point Was. The Fact Is, You Don't Know What Directing Is Until The Sun Is Setting And You've Got To Get Five Shots And You're Only Going To Get Two.

I Was A Disinterested Student.

I Think Title Sequences Are An Opportunity To Sort Of Set The Stage Or To Get People Thinking In Different Terms Than Maybe Whatever They Understand The Movie To Be Going In.

I'm Totally Anti-commercialism.

When You Go And You Tell A Studio And That It's An Ensemble, That Doesn't Mean A Lot To Them. But, My Hats Off To Paramount And Warner Brothers, Because When We Told Them That These Were The Kinds Of People That We Want To Get, Across The Board, They Were Unbelieveably Enthusiastic About It.
