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

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

It's kind of major, learning to drive. I feel like it kicked up other stuff in my life.

I guess I'm interested in people who are very sophisticated in intellectual ways, while being completely off the mark in emotional ones, with huge blind spots in terms of their own behavior.

Anyone who's putting money into your movie would always rather you cast well-known people.

When I'm editing, I tend to cut, go back over it, cut, go back over it, cut, so by the time I'm done, even with a cut, I don't have a rough cut and then work on it so much. I have a pretty rigorous cut of the movie that's usually in the range of what the final movie is going to be. It doesn't mean I don't work on it a lot after that, but I get it into a shape so I feel I can really tell what it needs, or at least it's ready to show people.

I like having associations with locations beyond their meaning for the specific movie.
