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

The actor's job is to divine and embody the truth, and find it.

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

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.

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.

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.
