The people who went on that airplane were unexceptional.

I always try and bring screenplay, shooting and editing into a sort of symbiotic - as close into alignment as you possibly can get them, consistent, obviously, with the resources that you've got and the time you've got available.

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.

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

Why are people saying it's too soon? Like the people on that flight, we need to agree about what to do about terrorism. And I think we need to have that conversation now.

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.
