I Grew Up On Movie Sets, I'm Comfortable On Sets. A Movie Set Is Like A Circus. I Don't Understand Why Moviemaking Has To Be Such An Insane Environment.

People Want To Know If I Have A Moral Standpoint That They Should Be Picking Up On, And The Truth Is, I Don't. I Don't Want People To Think That I'm Trying To Tell Them To Feel A Certain Way. I Think That's Cheap Filmmaking.

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.

There Are Only So Many Movies You Can Direct. And Yet There Are Movies That I Want To Make Sure Make It To The Screen In As Honest A Way As Possible.

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.
