There's something in the very small minutia of life that tells us something about the big, big picture that we see every day all over the place, and so I think the more specific and creative and revelatory you are in the micro, the more powerful the macro will be.

People actually live with their id exposed. They're not good at concealing what's going on inside.

When you have a child, as anyone knows who has them, that's basically all you want to talk about.

I think directors should be confident in their leadership capabilities. I think directors should be confident in what they want to do.

Film's hard when you don't have any relationship with the director at all and you just show up. Then you really are just a gun for hire.

Great talent admits shortcomings.

I feel like the need to want to create and make something is stronger than the difficulties are going through.
