All I know is that as an audience member, I am less and less inclined to go to the theater.

Editing is very satisfying process. You spend hours working on something and then you get to watch it. It's immediately satisfying where everything else is just kind of waiting and waiting and waiting.

I never got into 'MacGyver,' but 'All the President's Men' and 'The Conversation' were big for me.

I had a really generic upbringing, I think, when it comes to viewing movies as a kid. I didn't really know what was out there or what was being tried. I was, like, 'E.T.' and 'Indiana Jones.' Those were the only things I knew existed.

I love to work. It's the idea of having someone else tell you how to make your film or how to sell it - that's the part I can't really deal with. I would rather do 1,000 things that are work than deal with one thing that's a political problem.

My favorite films are the ones that I walk away from and I know I saw a story.

I came to filmmaking because it's my passion. I decided I can't have it distorted or marred by someone else deciding what it should be.
