I can't really explain the feeling of acting. It makes you the most insecure you can possibly be.

I wasn't born an artist. I was really good in science as a kid. I probably shouldn't have been an artist because I'm much more interested in science. But I was raised by artists. I can't really escape it.

I learned directing by editing because I saw all the mistakes I had made.

The camera can move, you can make the shots, blah blah blah, but as long as the actors are good, you have something.

I was six years old when I saw my first Godard movie, eight when I first experienced Bergman. I wanted to be a director when I was fourteen.

I went to film school to make films just because you're in control of the story.

I avoid confrontation. When I'm on set I never snap at anyone. I don't have a temper.
