I'd Like To Be Dakota Fanning When

I'm Really Not A Clothes Person. To Me, That's Just Work. It's The Thing I Hate To Do The Most. I Don't Want To Be Judged In That Way.

If I Make Two Movies My Entire Life, And They're Two Movies That - Whether They Make A Lot Of Money Or Two People Go To See Them - They Speak Of Me, Then I Consider Them Incredibly Successful. I Don't Need To Be Steven Spielberg.

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.

We Think, "if I Have More Money, I Am More Valuable. If I Make More Money, I Am More Valuable." It's All Sort Of Wound Up With This Problem That Humans Have With Their Failure.

So, Yes, There's Nothing I Love More Than Listening To Directors Talk About Their Movies.
