I Love Working With Actors. I Do.

The Ability To Take Pleasure In One's Life Is A Skill And Is A Kind Of Intelligence.

Like Everything, What Compels One To Put Pen To Paper Is A Great Question.

I Can't Please Everybody And I Don't Try To. If I Can Please Myself That's Enough. For The Rest, I Just Hope For The Best.

When I'm Asked Who My Audience Is, I Say Someone With An Open Mind, Which Is Not A Vacant One And Sometimes A Liberal Mind Is Not The Same Thing As An Open One.

Some People See Me As Dissecting My Characters In Some Kind Of Heartless, Coldblooded, Analytical Way, When In Truth Making These Movies Is A Passionate, Intensely Emotional Experience For Me. I'm Detached From The Characters Only To The Degree That I Have To Be In Order To Write Honestly About Them.
