I don't miss scenes at all the way that I used to miss them when I was younger making a film. It's actually quite fun to get rid of them now.

No matter how many times you do it, you don't get used to the sadness - for me at least - of coming to the end of a film.

I'm not really a Sundance baby, but they helped me so much I feel I have to acknowledge it.

Film school is a complete con, because the information is there if you want it.

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

I don't think it's a director's job to peek behind the curtain too much.

I don't get a sense of American pride. I just get a sense that everyone is here, battling the same thing - that around the world everybody's after the same thing, just some minor piece of happiness each day.
