I find it very eerie when somebody is being really polite.

I had a desire to do TV and wanted to get in, in the right way, knowing that I was going to learn a lot, along the way.

People break down into two groups. When they experience something lucky, group number one sees it as more than luck, more than coincidence. They see it as a sign, evidence, that there is someone up there, watching out for them. Group number two sees it as just pure luck. Just a happy turn of chance.

My directing style is long takes. The longer take I can do, the more I can think of not doing it in cuts, the better.

You're saying, "I'm gonna do this thing," and you have to be aware, as a rational human being, that you may not be allowed back in.

My philosophy is to make movies with the biggest possible budget that will allow it to be made in an independent fashion.

I want to make a bunch of small movies. I'm really interested in that for me in the future.
