I'm too big a fan of rhythm and editing. I'd much rather my editing be brave than my shooting.

'Looper' is about what your 55-year-old self would tell your 25-year-old self over a cup of coffee. It's about finding love in the third act of your life. It's about overcoming trauma and the idea of true sacrifice.

'Juno' really changed things for me and I get a lot of screenplays come in now, but I like to self-generate and I like to kind of pursue my own ideas. And I think the more personal the better.

Each one of my films is personal; each one of my films is emotionally autobiographical. And I like directors who do that.

I don't want to make films that give you the answer. If there is a message to my films - and I hope there isn't - it's to be open-minded.

I find nice people kind of boring.

I'm a kind of private guy.
