There's a script, then you're going to shoot the script and then you cut that and then that's the end of the film. And that's never really been how I've seen it.

You're trying to create a screenplay and your screenplay is there to give you a structure, rigidity, situational awareness, who the characters are, what do they want, what's the shape of the thing.

Most of the films that I've written, made in my life, I've written. Not all, but most I would say.

You sort of can't talk about the post production unless you talk about what comes first.

Remembering is painful, it's difficult, but it can be inspiring and it can give wisdom.

That's one of the central challenges we face - how to stay true to events and compress the fundamentals.

I think when you think of my films, I think hopefully you think of an extreme sort of real unfolding, real-time, performed, feeling semi-improvised, you know what I mean, all that.
