You know, I don't really do that much looking inside me when I'm working on a project. Whatever I am becomes what that film is. But I change; you change.

Even though I get older, what I do never gets old, and that's what I think keeps me hungry.

I am a very impatient director.

I didn't read reviews earlier in my career, but I read them now as I'm older. I read them all.

I don't really distinguish between a fictional hero and a real life hero as a basis for any comparison. To me, a hero is a hero. I like making pictures about people who have a personal mission in life or at least in the life of a story who start out with certain low expectations and then over achieve our highest expectations for them. That's the kind of character arc I love dabbling in as a director, as a filmmaker.

I had no choice. It was just something that happened. I was always looking for ways to act out, and I got a camera and it acted out for me.

Because of how much movies cost, it's dangerous to be experimental on one film after the other. But we can experiment with television. We can do things that are fringe and bring ideas to the table that are offbeat and original.
