When you're acting, you're subjective; when you're a director, you're more objective.You're kind of watching from the outside and helping others, and therefore I learn my mistakes through others, and also my assets through others.

In film, you have to let go sometimes.

When you read, you think, and when you smoke, you think. It's a pleasurable thing, and not a duty.

I have an awful memory, and I have a great memory. Meaning that, if I'm trying to remember something, I can't remember it. But my recall is fantastic.

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.

Well, in the theater, I think you're actually more responsible for what is going on onstage as a director than you are in film.
