I'm very eclectic in terms of what I like, what I read, what I watch, my own consumer behavior.

The movie doesn't do what you want it do. It just grows and then you have a movie at the end of it, hopefully.

I'm not looking for artistic license with the script. I tend to arrive at a form with the script and feel that that should be for the time being what we aim for.

The screenplay is a great document because it makes you have many discussions prior to actually being on the floor.

I read a script or I read a project or I read a novel and I know that I'm going to spend two to three years of my life with that, exclusively. So you better like it. There better be an honorable, real need to make that movie.

I think it's never mono-causal why you fall in love with something that you want to do.

I think you either have chemistry or you don't. If you could create chemistry in the editing room then there would be no films without chemistry, obviously, because there are a lot of good editors out there who'd be able to take care of that then if that's how it really worked.
