I Want All Of My Films To

That's How I Like To Do It With Actors, Have Them Really Go For It And I'll Tell Them When It's Too Much. It's Always Easier To Bring It Back Then To Push It Further.

There Is An Audience Out There For Literate Films - Slower, More Observant, More Human Films, And They Deserve To Be Made.

I've Always Approached Screenplays And So Forth With, "how Would It Really Happen?" Not "what's The Movie Version?" But "what's The Real-life Version?" Then I Just Follow My Nose.

My Editor And I Remain Very Disciplined. It's Just Sometimes When You're Making A Film, You Get Into The Cutting Room And You See A Scene That's Slowing You Down In A Certain Section, But If You Remove That Scene Then, Emotionally Or Story-wise, Another Scene A Half-hour Later Won't Have The Same Impact. You Just Get Stuck With It.

When I'm Introduced As A Two-time Oscar Winner, I'm Happy That A Film Of Mine Has Found An Audience And Some Acclaim Because That Keeps Me In Business. A Filmmaker's Greatest Concern Is The Ability To Make Future Films, So It Helps Keep Me In Business.
