I always had a dream about trying to make a movie that had no dialogue in it, that was just music and pictures. I still haven't done it yet, but I tried to get close in the beginning.

You write who you are. But you also cheat, and youwrite what you want to be. It's embarrasing to be the guy who madethe movie, knowing you're not exactly who you want to be.

To make a film, the final big collaborator that you have is the composer.

I am always looking for that nuance, that moment of truth, and you can't really do that fast.

I write from my stomach.

I had the standard movie geek childhood, because for as long as I can remember, all I wanted to do was make movies.

I didn't have any desire I might have had 10 years ago to shoot every single word that I wrote.
