I think directing and writing are very different jobs. Obviously, directing is a more social and managerial job. The other thing about directing is that it's a very, very pragmatic job, and writing isn't.

I think if I've worked anything through with screenwriting it's that I'm not going to be able to work anything through.

My time on the set is the least of my involvement. Most of my time is in pre-production and post-production.

I'm not into extreme sports or something. I just live a quiet life.

I have a personality that tends to be somewhat compulsive, and I do tend to think in a circular way. I dwell on the same things over and over and I try to figure out different ways of looking at the same issue.

And also the idea of not making it apparent that it's different from the rest of the film, even though there are visual differences, the audience is supposed to think that they are with him when he wakes up in the morning.

There's theater in life, obviously, and there's life in theater.
