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

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

As a spectator, I have very eclectic taste, whether it's comedies or action or very small, intimate films. And I feel as a filmmaker I should be able to have that same eclectic taste.

But I won't work with the exact same crew film after film because I feel the work would get a little complacent.

I never storyboard. I hate it. I don't understand why so many directors want to make comic strips of their films.

Working with the same people is so much quicker and frees up your energy for other things.

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