I am not a fan of westerns particularly.
I'm not one to dwell on rehearsal or preparation.
Working with a bunch of actors is like trying to tune each violin.
I did the drawing and writing - for five years. I made a lot of short films the whole while and I made a promise to myself in front of the mirror that I would stop drawing when I signed my first contract for a feature film.
My movies are, more or less, very short. I'm terrified of boring an audience.
If a film is very clever and well-written, that's what gives you freedom as a director.
