I'm in a house where if the washing machine shuts off, it sings a song. If iPad gets a message, it sings a song. I'm living in a real postmodern time - every single thing sings to you to tell you it's started, it's stopped, you've got a message, you didn't get a message.

A lifetime isn't long enough to learn how to make films.

The last day of your life is still going to be a day.

It's funny, the hardest thing to do is to make something look like it's fast, loose and improvised, and get somebody to laugh.

I don't need to push myself. I don't need to sharpen my own knife and slit my throat. I'm trying to chill it and find an equilibrium and a balance to my work.

I don't know what DVD commentaries are about. I'd like to strangle the person who came up with that concept.

I come from a world where you get the film done, that's a success.
