Sometimes I look at it [Valley of Violence] and go, "How did we do that?" But it's a credit to Ethan [Hawke], he had done White Fang, so Ethan is like, "Oh God, that's right."

I don't generally watch the movie [ The House Of The Devil ]. It's sort of like hearing your voice on tape.

It definitely could have been a horror story [Valley of Violence], oh my God, if the dog was impossible. So could the horses.

I'm doing an over-the-shoulder shot on a dog. I'm putting the camera behind the dog's shoulder. This is craziness. You just accept it in the movie [Valley of Violence], but when you make the movie, it's the weirdest thing. There's dog coverage, like it's a person.

I think having funny characters is just one way of having three-dimensional characters.

I just really like seeing mundane stuff in movies. It's realistic.

One of my favorite scenes of the movie [Valley of Violence] is when Ethan Hawke is sitting at the campfire with the dog.
