There's a film you write, there's a film you shoot, and there's a film that you cut - and they're all different.

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

All directors make films in individual ways. But the classical kind of view of filmmaking is that you have a script and it's very linear.

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.

There's a film you write, there's a film you shoot, and there's a film that you cut - and they're all different.

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

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