The biggest edge I live on is directing. That's the most scary, dangerous thing you can do in your life.

Out of the total of 11 movies, I got slammed.

I always get everyone prepared so there aren't so many arguments on set. I have a policy that the first thing I do in the morning is go over to the trailers and discuss exactly what we're shooting that day. It's time-consuming but it reduces the chances of 'misunderstandings' on set.

There's one great script that hit my desk that I didn't change at all, and that was True Romance.

I like changing the pace of my life, changing my discipline. It gives me ideas for how to see the world differently.

I'm trying to use the camera to get into people's heads. I use camera techniques a lot to articulate character.

I've had a love affair with every movie I've ever done.
