I hate doing anything in offices. I either want to be out in the world or in my own environment - and it should be your own environment that you work in.

I'd been working so hard making the film that I hadn't even emotionally processed the fact that I was a director.

I always write as I like to write, and I've been thinking about it because I honestly didn't realize how different my stuff is, until I started looking at other people's scripts as a producer.

I'm a homebody, as many writers are, and need to be by myself, and I like to be by the Atlantic Ocean.

When I'm shooting, as much as writing, I see edited footage in my mind, so I work that way, and it's economical.

Look at what people are trying to conceal, and you’ll see that they’re revealing everything.

All of a sudden I pulled up short and harked back to Ridley [Scott] holding up the script in Manhattan, at the St. Regis breakfast room, and saying, "It's very visual, isn't it," and realized it was the key to my whole life since then.
