Everything about filmmaking tries to distract you from that first fine rapturous vision you have of the film.

I wanted to make Canadian films, and I ended up making American films.

My plan was to stay in Canada to make films.

I'm not an easygoing guy as a director.

When you're actually making the film, you're constantly battling to maintain its integrity.

But when I direct I become possessed, a possession I've never quite understood.

When you meet me, I can be charming and intelligent and reasonable.
