Reality shows are all the rage on TV at the moment, but thats not reality, its just another aesthetic form of fiction.

My first three movies, I didn't start editing until we were finished shooting. That's unthinkable to me now.

The ought to be a worldwide cultural taskforce that just stops you when you have ideas like combining The Red Desert with an armored car heist movie.

But my sense in talking to people when I travel is that the film business is not that dissimilar from a lot of other businesses.

I've found through experience that I'm only good when I'm writing something that, in essence, only I could write. The times I've written for hire, for other people, I don't think I've done very well.

You can't change who you are, so I think that the only thing you can do is just never talk to people about stuff and then hope that maybe does something.

I stopped reading reviews about my own movies. I read stuff about other people's movies.
