I do agree you can't just make movies three hours long for no apparent reason. For a romantic comedy to be three hours long, that's longer than most marriages.

My idea of professionalism is probably a lot of people's idea of obsessive.

Take ownership of every decision you make because you will be hold responsible for the film, whether good or bad.

I have demons you can't even imagine.

You have a responsibility for the way you make the audience feel, and I want them to feel uncomfortable.

I want people to flourish. I want them to walk away from the experience going, "That's what it should be like."

People always ask why I don't make independent movies. I do make independent movies - I just make them at Sony and Paramount.
