I'm curious how people build up the codes that they live their life by, and how they come to think that that's the best way for them to function.

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

I'm a huge proponent of therapy and analysis, but it's something that, in a nonprofessional way, can be abused.

I'm sure I've said some pretty bad pick-up lines.

I love black-and-white movies that are about contemporary subjects.

Other people have worked with big studios and maintained control over their movies. I see no reason why it wouldn't work for me.

Adaptations are fun for me because they connect to the idea of filmmaking I had when I was a kid. I would see a movie and think: 'I'm gonna make that movie.'
