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

I think the feeling that we're going to work together again usually starts to come up before the first project's even done. The Black Keys and I have already talked about starting on something new.

[I watch] Fincher, Spielberg, Cameron, McTiernan. Just people who are good at staging action. I like to know where I am. I don't like the kind of cutting where you don't know where you are.

I guess I didn't feel confident enough to be searching in a big public way. I was very content at the time to toil in obscurity on things that I thought might point me in certain directions or teach me certain things - not knowing what that would be.

Another thing that really excites me: I'd like to do multiple versions of the same film.

Truth and facts have to trump partisanship. There has to be something that's true regardless of what your angle is on it.

A movie is something you see, cinema is something that’s made.
