I Am An Obsessive Flyer, Myself.

The First Thing I Say When People Ask What's The Difference [between Doing Tv And Film], Is That Film Has An Ending And Tv Doesn't. When I Write A Film, All I Think About Is Where The Thing Ends And How To Get The Audience There. And In Television, It Can't End. You Need The Audience To Return The Next Week. It Kind Of Shifts The Drive Of The Story. But I Find That More As A Writer Than As A Director.

Selfishness, Narcissism, Being Uncomfortable In Your Own Skin, Not Feeling Connected To The World Around You, Feeling Dislocated From Family And Youth, Having A Strange Relationship With Your Childhood - All Those Things Feel Really True To Me.

I'm Really Specific In The Way That I Shoot. I've Always Had A Very Good Sense Of What I Need In The Editing Room. I Used To Shoot In A Way That Drew More Attention To The Camera And I've Tried, In Each Film, To Draw Less And Less Attention To The Camera. I Think When You Pay Attention To The Shots, You're Aware Of The Fact That There's A Director.

I Always Believed That You Can Make Challenging Films, But They Should Be Fiscally Responsible.

And The Biggest Improvement I See Between 'up In The Air' And 'juno' And 'thank You For Smoking' Is That 'up In The Air' Deals With The Complicated Human Stuff In A Way That My Other Films Have Not. It's A More Articulated Film, And Because Of That, I'm Most Proud Of It.
