I think you get in trouble if you make experimental big studio films.

It's hard to see a film one time and really "get it," and write fully and intelligently about it. That's a review. That's not film criticism.

You make a film and you can't really pick the way it's put to the public. You control the content, but the way it's marketed, or the poster, or what they're telling the public about the film, it's beyond you. Some people don't even see them, because they think they already know it. That can be frustrating, when something you've done is marketed in a way you think is antithetical to what it is.

Yeah, a memory's never finished, if you really think about it.

Before Sunrise did very well internationally. It made as much in Italy and Korea as it did here.

I always think that I’m still this 13-year old boy that doesn’t really know how to be an adult, pretending to live my life, taking notes for when I’ll really have to do it.

In a sea of stories, find the right one to tell, and the right way to tell it.
