What I learned very quickly is that if you get it right in the first two or three takes, it's not going to get that much better.

I'll never be a good writer, and no chance of being a good actor.

I had a philosophy, which may have been proven right, that directing isn't as hard as everyone says it is.

I think it's easier to make a film with 200 million dollars than 960 grand.

Cliches are what make you understand something.

It's a juggernaut, yeah... but I'm not phased by making movies.

I learned very quickly that the hard thing in life is to make good films. Technically, filmmaking is the camera and the actor telling the story and that's what I'm more interested in doing.
