I'm Really Specific In The Way That I Shoot. I've Always Had A Very Good Sense Of What I Need In The Editing Room. I Used To Shoot In A Way That Drew More Attention To The Camera And I've Tried, In Each Film, To Draw Less And Less Attention To The Camera. I Think When You Pay Attention To The Shots, You're Aware Of The Fact That There's A Director.

Directing Is A Reactionary Job More Than A Creation Job. The Job Is To React Whether It's Moment One, The First Time You Read The Script Or See An Article Or Read A Book Or Notice Something Happen On The Street And Have An Idea For A Movie, And It Just Continues From There On In. You're Just Reacting To Dialogue, A Performance, An Audition, A Headache, A Piece Of Furniture, A Piece Of Clothing.
