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

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

I think all my movies are about transitions to some degree.

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.

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

I'm interested in music as an extension of character.

I'm interested in the way major events don't necessarily announce themselves as major events. They're often little things - the drip, drip of life that changes people or affects people.
