Sometimes it only takes three words, so long as they're the right words, to direct an actor in the right way.

I like films to be complete in their written form.

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

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

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

My movies are, more or less, very short. I'm terrified of boring an audience.

I am not a fan of westerns particularly.
