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

Everything's changing so fast that it's sometimes hard to keep up.

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.

Even when you're making a movie about life, death is a presence, and I guess it's part of my dramatic viewpoint. I'm not sure why exactly.

Usually when I read something, first of all I'm looking for the story and then when I reread it, I'm sort of checking every part of it to see if every scene is necessary.

Well, I want to do everything in sort of a documentary style, ever since I started in the '80s.

When you get to be 23, 24 or 25, you start to freeze up and become an adult.
