Well, like any time you're shooting documentary stuff, you've got to be in the moment, and you've got to be able to be in control enough to capture what's happening

I do like directing other people's material.

I mean, I don't mind promoting a movie, or talking to the press if it's going to be used in some way

It's always great to discover a new star of tomorrow

You've got to remind yourself all the time that you're being measured against the fashions of the day, and if your work truly has any kind of staying power, well, people will be talking about it in 20, 30 years.

do i have political views? you bet! i think the best way to express them is in your work, and then get the hell off the stage

You know, I listen to contemporary music all the time
