You go through your career and you find people and cast who you love and you go through and keep them and you never want to let them go because you have a great repertory with them.

I never go to the monitor. I just look at the camera monitor and my favorite part of all of the directing, except for the writing and editing of it, is right when we're rolling and they do lines and I'll say "Try this, try this, try this."

People in movies and TV seem to be completely dumb to what's going on in the real world and relationships.

When I did TV shows and my other movies, I never try to do it for anybody. I just do what I think is good no matter what the genre is.
