There are two kinds of directors: There's the kind where two plus two equals four, and you have to help them figure it out. And then there's the kind that throws you in a room, locks the door, sets the house on fire and films it.

I don't have a lot of time to surf the net and see what everyone's wearing.

Different films have different places in people's lives. I don't get to see a lot of films, so I want to watch films I learn from.

When actors give their input, it can be very ego-driven, and directors are scared of that.

I'm always trying to work on scripts. I'm pretty selective. Sometimes maybe too much because I'm broke .

When people go at war they cheapen things.

If I'm able to catch the screening, there's a point in the film where, like clockwork, a portion of the audience gets really emotional and begins to cry. And that's very difficult to make happen.
