The wind came in languid gusts like whispered reminders.

A director on a film really sets the tone of how people go about things, so everybody is happy to be at work and everybody does their best.

We all age. You shouldn't discount it as a subject for a film. Just because the characters are dealing with issues that you might not deal with for another 45 years doesn't mean you won't like it.

I get to work with incredibly talented young filmmakers and students, and their attitudes and relationship with film is still so pure. That re-inspires me and reminds me why I got into it and what I love about film, and allows me a little reprieve from the business side of it. And it rekindles my love of film.

If this is the only life, then why I’m not just doing everything I want to do.

I don't even like to sleep - I feel as if there's too much to do.

You are successful if you are able to work on the kind of material that you want to - if your life conforms to your dreams, regardless of outside acceptance or acclaim.
