I didn't train in directing; I talk to actors the way I talk to anybody.

I try to write 'and it's all very funny' after each scene description so that the reader can imagine the movie in their head.

It's near impossible to make a movie in black and white in the system.

It's nice being friends over a period of time with people whose music you like so much, or other filmmakers, seeing people change, go through trials

A lot of black-and-white films generally have a color version that will be used for TV.

We all have these notions of cool that come about at different points in our lives, and it's interesting in how it evolves or doesn't evolve in different people.

It's kind of a crazy art form, movies, in that you have to get it right the day you do it, generally.
