It's All About Escapism. That's Essentially What

I Remember That When I Got To Nyu, Everyone Was Writing Scripts. But I Was 18 At The Time, And When You Write A Script, So Much Of It Is About What You Pull From Life, And This Sounds Sort Of Cheesy, But I Felt Like I Didn't Have Enough Life Experience At That Point To Write A Movie.

I Take It Very Seriously, Music. I Think It's One Of The Tools That A Director Has With Which To Kind Of Paint. The Right Music Can Sometimes Do Five Pages Of Scripted Dialogue.

Directors Tend To Be More Underrated Than Overrated Because It's A Quiet Job And People Don't Really Understand It.

I Think Reviewers Have Become Particularly Venomous Because, In A Way, The Power Has Been Sucked From Them. A 15-year-old Can Write A Review On The Internet And It Means As Much As Roger Ebert's Review, And That Just Makes Roger Ebert Mad, So He Comes Out Harder And Stronger.

My Movies Before Tend To Be Just Funny. But It Wasn't A Conscious Thing I Was Looking For At All.
