Collaboration Is Like The Sex Of Creativity.

I Realized I Probably Wouldn't Make Another Film That Cuts Through Commercial And Creative Things Like 'godfather' Or 'apocalypse.'

In America, Even The Critics - Which Is A Pity - Tend To Genre-ize Things. They Have A Hard Time When Genres Get Mixed. They Want To Categorize Things. That's Why I Love Wes Anderson's Films And The Coen Brothers, Because You Don't Know What You're Going To Get, And Very Often You Get Something That You Don't Expect And That's Just What A Genre's Not Supposed To Do.

I Always Knew What I Thought The Theme Was, The Core, In One Word. In 'the Godfather' It Was Succession. In 'the Conversation' It Was Privacy. In 'apocalypse' It Was Morality.

I Still Think Ned Beatty Should've Played Don Corleone.

I Believe That Filmmaking - As, Probably, Is Everything - Is A Game You Should Play With All Your Cards, And All Your Dice, And Whatever Else You've Got. So, Each Time I Make A Movie, I Give It Everything I Have. I Think Everyone Should, And I Think Everyone Should Do Everything They Do That Way.
