I Want My Audiences To Be As

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.

If Someone Else Made 'up In The Air' Or 'thank You For Smoking' Or 'juno,' I Would Have Wanted To Rip Their Head Off. I Need That Same Sort Of Passion For Every Project I Take On.

Really, It's The Director's Job To Disappear And Allow The Movie To Just Feel.

Everyone Wants To Be Loved; Everyone Wants To Know Where They're Going In Life; Everyone Wants To Have A Sense Of Direction And Feel The Next Day Is Going To Be Better Than Today. We Just All Deal With It In A Different Way.

I'm Not Michael Moore. I Think Michael Moore Wants To Tell You How To Think. He Wants To Give You Answers. I Make Movies To Raise My Own Personal Questions And Not To Give Answers.
