Everything is the director's fault - you can quote me on that. There are no excuses.

There is sadness of when you're watching someone enjoy something that you think is substandard. The ineffable sadness when someone is happy and something is not as good as it should be.

The art model of problem solving is incredibly efficient because ideology has no place there.There's only the thing and what the thing needs to be.

To me the director’s job is to leave it in better shape than you found it, literally.

You're being mean to someone who's helping you. What is that? Everyone knows who the assholes are, and I avoid them.

When we look at what's going on in the world and we see the immense level of conflict that seems to always be happening - you can always trace it back to competing narratives.

The key is, how do you feel with the one asshole? They cannot be talked to. That's why they are assholes.
