I Think It's A Mistake For Young

I Want My Audiences To Be As Open-minded As My Characters.

I Used To Have A Group Called Bad-movie Saturday. Every Saturday, Six Of Us Would Go See The Worst Movie That Came Out Each Weekend. It'd Be Noon In Burbank. It Was Just A Running Commentary. All Executives - We Would Each Talk Through The Movie And Make Jokes.

If Someone Else Made 'up In The Air' Or 'thank You For Smoking' Or 'juno,' I Would Have Wanted To Rip Their Head Off. I Need That Same Sort Of Passion For Every Project I Take On.

I'm Too Big A Fan Of Rhythm And Editing. I'd Much Rather My Editing Be Brave Than My Shooting.

I Have A Strange Fascination With The Midwest. I'm Waiting To Find Out That My Parents Are Actually From The Midwest. I Grew Up In Beverly Hills, Up The Street, And I Just Feel Comfortable There. I've Shot In Minneapolis, In Detroit, In St. Louis, In Omaha - They Would Say They're The Plains, Not The Midwest - And I Love It.
