But I remember feeling as a producer I felt like the guy who called the caterer and got the band; I had to work the party while everybody else was having a good time.

Every movie is wildly different. So many of the problems are the same, but they take on different guises.

It struck me that working digitally with a small crew, I could lay out a general plan for Famous and hope for mistakes which would create something more than satire and something less than truthful reality.

On every movie I’ve done as a director, I look at the producers and having done it, I don’t envy them, at all.

When you're directing, I feel like I'm playing all the parts, without the make-up. I really get into the heads of the characters.

I've always been schizophrenic; I've never been interested in limiting myself.
