It has to be very tight to seem loose.

I think maybe making films is something innate you can't really teach to begin with.

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.

I do find myself at the moment, due to the success of School of Rock, to be on people's radar a little.

I'd be fine if there weren't film festivals, and you just made your films and didn't have to do anything from that point on. That would be really great, wouldn't it? I don't know. I'm in kind of an aloof time, where I'm not taking anything too seriously.

It has to be very tight to seem loose.

I believe if there's any kind of God it wouldn't be in any of us, not you or me but just this little space in between. If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something. I know, it's almost impossible to succeed but who cares really? The answer must be in the attempt.
