I don't have a problem with Werner Herzog.

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.

Life is what happens when you're doing other things, right?

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

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

It's always a problem when you're working with people you don't really know. Most filmmaking is about shaking hands and just starting. You know, these month - or two-month-long endeavors that millions of dollars are based on, and the people doing them don't even know each other, or know each other under pressure, or know each other when things are really... Which filmmaking is completely done under in many circumstances. You're under constant crisis, making a movie.

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