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

I don't want to be the angry guy.

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

My older sister was at the cusp of new wave, and I had older brothers from my father's first marriage who were rock 'n' roll guys, so I was exposed to a lot of popular culture.

Of course, I'm no dummy.

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