I Don't Know Why I'm Drawn To

I've Been Very, Very Lucky In My Career, In My Life - From Day One. When Aspiring Directors Say, 'what's Your Advice?' First I Say, 'be Born The Son Of A Famous Director. It's Invaluable.'

I Want My Movies To Be Audience Experiences. As Much As I Like Michael Haneke, I'm Not Going To Make A Haneke Film. That's Just Not In My Dna.

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.

I Don't Want To Make Films That Give You The Answer. If There Is A Message To My Films - And I Hope There Isn't - It's To Be Open-minded.

And I Certainly Like Being On A Plane, Next To A Stranger, Having Conversations That You'd Never Otherwise Have. You're Unplugged, Your Phone Doesn't Work, You're Not Online.
