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

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

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

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.

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

In the end, it's acting, it's not real. But every director will tell you that you have to create conditions that create tension, because tension is what makes drama feel real.
