I'm Really Proud Of The Writing On

I'm Drawn To A Lot Of First-time Directors. One Of The Great Common Denominators In These Small Independent Films Is That There's A Person, Or Two People, Who Have An Absolutely Monomaniacal Passion To Get These Films Made. That's What Makes Them Happen. Sometimes, It Takes Years And Years To Finally Get It Done, But By Never Backing Down, By Never Giving Up, They Get These Films To The Screen By Hook Or By Crook.

Directors Work 10 Times Harder Than Anyone Else. Get Paid A Quarter.

There Will Always Be People With Disabilities. And By My Estimation, The Scorecard For The Way We Take Care Of Those Who Need Our Help The Most, Those At The Very Bottom Of That Safety Net, Is Pretty Dismal. And That Has To Change.

I Have A Tendency To Say 'yes' To A Script Or No To A Script. Not 'yes' Based On A Rewrite.

Making A Mistake Means Overshooting A Scene, Shooting Too Many Takes, For Instance. Long After You've Got It, You Just Keep Shooting.
