I always have a plan, but then I'm always ready to throw the plan out, and everyone's ready to make a radical left turn if necessary.

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

There's a big difference between a movie about relationships and a movie in which people talk about relationships. It seems like a lot of people have confused the two.

My working life is me doing what I want to do. This is that. I've made movies that people don't go to see.

That's why my attitude, even on my larger-scale movies, is to make them cheap. The less these things cost, the better for everybody.

I'm not going to spend two years of my life on something that I'm not excited about.

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.
