For all the boredom the straight life brings, it's not too bad.

The dark comedies tend to be in a non-releasable area. There can be romantic comedies. There can be dramas. But there's no 'dark comedy' inbox for the advertising.

I think that in some cases, I've made films that have a sentimental quality, at least as part of the film.

I have my ideas of what a good documentary is, but drama is a different animal because you're arranging everything.

I'm usually trying to react to what the actors are coming up with. And then the environment, and then the story.

I'm going in a really weird I-don't-know-where direction, but I prefer anything [different] from how standardized filmmaking has become.

The reason I know about 'Tomb Raider' is from when I was researching 'Elephant.' It was 1999, and I was trying to research the Columbine-massacre kids, and they had played video games, and I, at the time, had never really seen one. It was a world I didn't know.
