The people who went on that airplane were unexceptional.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
