I Am The Luckiest Filmmaker I Know.

There's Absolutely No Sort Of Acknowledgment Or Reward For This - Except For The Intangible Of My Kids Growing Up To Be Wonderful People.

Every Movie Changes You. The Process Of Making A Film Changes You. You Have To Be Obsessed, You Have To Get Up At 3 In The Morning And Go "wait, I Have An Idea!" You Have To Continually Be Drawn Over And Over Again To Deepening Inside That Story, And Ruminating Over Questions: "why Would He Say This To Her? Why If He Was Standing There, Would She Go?" Every One Of Those Answers Has To Come From Some Personal Place, And In Order To Do That, You Can't Sit On The Surface. It's Such A Big Change That You Can't Really Explain It To Anyone Else.

I'm Kind Of A Chatterbox And I Talk Really Fast.

I Didn't Work Very Much When They Were Young, And I Had The Luxury To Be Able To Do That. Most People Can't.

I Love The Way L A. Leaves You Alone. I Can Go Home, Read All Day, And Nobody Bugs Me.
