Once you finish a film, it doesn't belong to you anymore - it belongs to the audience to interpret it the way they feel like interpreting.

Writing is a creative art form and the acting and directing is more of an interpretive art form.

Libertarian: everyone leaves everyone else alone

I love every aspect of the creation of motion pictures and I guess I am committed to it for life.

Drama usually has some sort of intense conflict.

The casting is the most important thing. If you cast a picture really well a lot of things take care of themselves. You get actors that like to give a lot to the role and who appreciate the role on the same level that you do. If you miscast it, you're working an uphill battle a little bit and maybe you can come out okay but you can't always come out great.

I like a drama. And I think that's the basis of good films, or good plays, is to have a nice drama.
