My job is going to be to direct the film - I'm going to do it. And that's where my job ends.

Most filmmaking is about shaking hands and just starting.

Listen, anybody who has a film festival has the right to show what they want.

Рow can we be, even if it is the last day on earth? It's like Christmas Eve. "Okay, it's going to be Christmas. So what. What are you going to do? Jump off the Empire State Building?" It's all still the same. The last day of your life is still going to be a day. Then there's that thing, maybe it's not true. Who knows? Are you going to believe it? Are you going to buy it? There are a lot of other things that are important, you know. You know what they say. Life is what happens when you're doing other things, right?

The more you get into any religion, it becomes the same. It really becomes how you treat other people and how you get outside yourself. How you look to help other people, and how you get out of this 'I, me, mine' type of thing.

Movies are only the result of where we are as human beings.

I don't care if I get $50 million to do a film.
