It becomes a lot better for the actors when we're 'shooting, shooting, shooting,' instead of waiting around in a trailer for something to happen.

So something I've felt I've learned with The Cosmopolitans shoot is using some agility and changing things quickly. That's something I found really useful on this shoot too. The gestation of The Cosmopolitans and this are slightly different from my other films. The script would be done and I'd be cutting it, but I wasn't always writing new material.

The Cha-Cha is no more ridiculous than life itself.

That's one of the things I find really bad, is when people not only do injuries to others, but then lie about the others to justify it. It's not bad enough just being bad to someone, but then lying about it.

Our roots are clinging, we shouldn't knock down so many old 'buildings.'

For me, the present is a golden era. That's the greatest golden era. Right now. I just like pining for lost times.

I think it's helpful to aspire to make films if you feel that other people are not doing what you want to do.
