Every Great Story Deserves A Great Ending

One Of The Things You Do As A Writer And As A Filmmaker Is Grasp For Resonant Symbols And Imagery Without Necessarily Fully Understanding It Yourself.

I Believe Movies Are One Of The Great American Art Forms And The Shared Experience Of Watching A Story Unfold On Screen Is An Important And Joyful Pastime. The Movie Theatre Is My Home, And The Idea That Someone Would Violate That Innocent And Hopeful Place In Such An Unbearably Savage Way Is Devastating To Me.

A Hero Can Be Anyone. Even A Man Doing Something As Simple And Reassuring As Putting A Coat Around A Young Boy's Shoulders To Let Him Know That The World Hadn't Ended.

I Think There Are Advantages To Different Scales Of Filmmaking. You Wouldn't Want To Do Just One Thing.

Period Films To Me Are Very Often Alienating To The Audience. There's Very Often A Formality. A Staunchy Quality To Them That Comes From The Misenscene. It Also Comes From The Performances Of The Actors, Because They're Acting Victorian Which Really Means That They're Just Acting The Way They've Seen Previous Actors Act Victorian.
