People say funny things all the time during really serious moments in life.

You value the thing you are fighting for, but then you learn to value the time it takes to do it and the time you have off. Both of which are precious.

I became really aware that when you're making a movie, you're making it three times. You're making it when you're writing it. You're making it when you're shooting it. And then you're remaking it again when you're editing it.

I didn't like the distance between my family and myself that I was experiencing from having to work all the time.

I like to think the movies that I've picked have something worthwhile to say. Something relevant.

Some of my favorite scenes aren't in the movie. Because you, at some point, realize that your responsibility as director is purely to the story. It's not to your pleasure.

Certainly, it's very easy to fall in love with cash. If you're going to make all your decisions based on cash, you're going to have a pretty naffy career.
