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

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

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

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.

Most filmmaking is about shaking hands and just starting.

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.
