Ever director has at least 10 bad films in them.

The accidents are things that audiences always remember most, I've found on my own movies. The things that they like the most are the things that were just by accident. So you have to create a situation where nothing but accidents can happen the entire time.

I get a lot done considering I spend half my day sleeping.

All those years I had been making movies because I loved movies, and that's what made all the difference. If you're doing it because you love it you can succeed because you'll work harder than anyone else around you, take on challenges no one else would dare take, and come up with methods no one else would discover, especially when their prime drive is fame and fortune. All that will follow later if you really love what you do. Because your work will speak itself.

Yeah, I was always a big fan of noir.

Only by seeking challenges can we hope to find the best in ourselves.

Anyone who can only write about themselves or their life experiences, in my mind, isn't a very good writer.
