If you were falling in love and you could go back in time and relive a day and see the banal things you did that you'd forgotten about, you'd weep, looking at that day.

I think a badly crafted, great idea for a new film with a ton of spelling mistakes is just 100 times better than a well-crafted stale script.

Acting is a lot easier than people think it is.

I definitely in filmmaking more and more find writing and directing a means to harvest material for editing. It's all about editing.

I mean, look, I love movies, not just the ones I make... In fact, I don't like the movies I make very much.

What is filmmaking but groping in the dark?

The actors are the greatest executors of tone in a film. They're the most important cinematic component.
