I think we're lucky because there are very few people in life who get to do what we're doing.

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

The hardest scene for me is always the scene when I'm dealing with performances, when I'm actually looking at the guys and hoping that I'm covering it in the right way and that I'm handling it in the right way.

I thought that subtitles are boring because they're there generally to serve us with information to make you understand what people are saying in a different language.

The scariest thing in my life is the first morning of production on all my movies. It's the fear of failing, the loss of face and a sense of guilt that everybody puts their faith in you and not coming through.

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

I always get role models, people from real life who've lived the lives of the characters, and talk it through together, me, them and the actor, a lot. That helps. We certainly have our disagreements. But in the end we trust each other.
