It's best if I stay out of future plans and let time go on.

Game of Thrones' is just incredible, what they pull off every week.

You go from these high hopes when you're writing to just a desperate want of not making a complete fool of yourself by the end of it.

When you're writing is when the "god should I just drop this" feeling can hit. When you're editing is when the "god this is awful and I've wasted everyone's time and money and will be revealed as a fraud" feeling can hit.

Unlike some of the time-travel movies I love, like 'Primer' or '12 Monkeys,' 'Looper' is not about time travel. It's about this situation that time travel creates and the people dealing with that situation. So narratively, the big challenge was to have time travel get out of the way.

My filmmaking background has really just been making movies with my friends since I was 12 years old. That's how I feel I learned how to tell a story visually, by just going out with a video camera and making movies with my friends and family.

You come out of each movie just thinking, "God, if we can fool them into letting us make just one more, we can get it right."
