I love directing Shakespeare on film. It's fantastic that the actors would do exactly the same thing and be true to their part.

I am creative in my living space - the designer in me helps that out.

Directing is much more psychological-it's a lot like being a general. And you have to be organized. While you're making a film, you have between two and 500 people asking you a billion questions.

We're really having a problem right now in our culture. I haven't seen one movie lately in which the story and visuals have been equally good.

What I adore is the juxtaposition of high tech and low tech. It's sort of like I love the sacred and the profane. I love to put these extremes in the same hopper.

Everything amounts to nothing if you don't love someone or something.

I think we all see the world from our own little unique bubble.
