It’s always more intriguing to imagine what’s happening, as opposed to seeing everything, because then you can use your imagination. I always wanted to be at a distance.

I like telling the story in a visual way. I don't like explaining a lot in dialogue.

You don't have to be loud. If you know what you want, people respect that.

My dad told me, 'Your movie's never as good as the dailies and never as bad as the rough cut.

Thats the way I work: I try to imagine what I would like to see.

A lot of young filmmakers bring their movies to my dad because he always gives lots of good editing ideas and notes. He'd be a good film professor.

I try to always be open to what the actors want to try. I don't storyboard and try to be intuitive and open on the day of filming.
