The characters are trapped within the lifestyle. It's about what goes on before the movie starts.

Thank God I don't live in Los Angeles. I think if you're there the whole time it just gets out of proportion and you lose touch completely with reality.

The importance of rehearsal is maybe you want to talk about how the scene's going to be designed, how it's going to be staged, all of those things. It's all about preparation, and deciding what mutually you don't want to do, rather than necessarily what you do.

I like throwing snowballs at small children.

As a first-time director in America, I feel I've been very fortunate.

Learn to say, “I don’t know the answer.” It could be the beginning of a very good day’s rehearsal.

For me, certain shots or scenes are keys in the movie.
