Directors work 10 times harder than anyone else. Get paid a quarter.

I'm sure I have a process, but it mostly takes place in my dreams.

I don't watch rushes. My whole thing is to try to stay in the moment with the other actor, and to let it all hang. I'm not sure I'm right on that, though.

The only people who do plays in LA are people who can't get jobs in TV shows.

I am against censorship in any form. I think anybody should be able to make any movie he or she wants and let the public decide. If it's disgusting and they don't want to see it, they won't go. I believe in the audience.

A good director is very well prepared, and knows exactly how he's going to cut the film, so the shooting is as efficient as possible.

The emotions will take care of themselves. You don't have to prod them along. As a matter of fact, you get in trouble when you prod them along.
