We’re all children of Kubrick, aren’t we? Is there anything you can do that he hasn’t done?

I have a feeling, one of those gut feelings, that I'll make pretty good movies the rest of my life.

But I'd be lying if I didn't say that every time you go to make a film, you're desperate to either do it better than you did it last time or to not repeat yourself.

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

My dad was this sort of avant-garde guy who did all kinds of weird things. He was a true original and anybody who met him never forgot him.

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.

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