If a film is very clever and well-written, that's what gives you freedom as a director. Part of the freedom in directing, for me, is that I'm also the camera operator. That's the place where things are less rigid, where I can adjust as I go along.

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

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.

You can work, shop, do everything from home, and I find this unsettling.

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

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

I am not a fan of westerns particularly.
