Don't make jokes about food.

I rather like mysteries. But I do dislike muddles.

I think people remember pictures not dialogue. That's why I like pictures.

I'm first and foremost interested in the story, the characters.

My distinguishing talent is the ability to put people under the microscope, perhaps to go one or two layers farther down than some other directors.

Film is a dramatised reality and it is the director's job to make it appear real... an audience should not be conscious of technique.

I've just begun to dare to think I perhaps am a bit of an artist.
