I like films that are well-written and concise and with not a lot of room for improvisation.

If a film is very clever and well-written, that's what gives you freedom as a director.

I'm not one to dwell on rehearsal or preparation.

I can zero in on subtle things because I'm holding the camera.

Working with a bunch of actors is like trying to tune each violin.
