People wear shorts to the Broadway theater. There should be a law against that.

The most I've ever done was twenty-something, but that's wasn't because I wanted to. I feel like to me it's usually somewhere between two and- no, it's very hard to say because it really depends up on the shot, you know? If it's a complicated master shot and you know that this is the only thing that you're doing for that scene, a complicated one-er, you're going to maybe end up doing a few more takes than you normally would. But I'm not a big believer in doing tons and tons and tons of takes.

I hate movies that take a long time to shoot or directors that labor over every shot or do excessive amounts of coverage and excessive takes and don't keep things moving or constantly cutting.

I think it's important to have a good sense of humor and joke around with your kids. That's what I do a lot.

As a director you have to be careful you don't over-design the film. You have to be careful that the period aspect does not take over.

I mean, Scorsese's a genius, and that's one way of shooting.

I think everybody has a little bit of an asshole inside of them.
