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

The actors that I love to work with, they're hard on me. They're pushing me.

A script is not a piece of literature, it's a process.

I direct, and I make movies I can't finance. I can't raise money. I can't sell anything. I make things.

I'm a lapsed Buddhist like I'm a lapsed Catholic. I take it to a point.

In the film business, it's basically honor among thieves.

My existence is about making movies, so I've just got to rock and roll with the punches. You want to make movies on telephones, I'm there.
