I think you have a pact with an audience in every picture, and I think the pact is to try and be truthful and to be real.

Great things that can happen when you're doing a movie.

Things get very distorted when you do a movie, weirdly so.

A lot of things just aren't true any more.

I've done it with Broadcast News-where there was no finish line, there was no agenda that I had to move all the characters to this point, that I was sort of open to what happens.

I always believe you can't kill good movies, because somebody's in some room and will die unless it gets made.

Kids in general make things fresh and alive and they have this great appreciation for, Holy mackerel, we're making a movie!
