I'm A Kind Of Private Guy.

Directing Is A Reactionary Job More Than A Creation Job. The Job Is To React Whether It's Moment One, The First Time You Read The Script Or See An Article Or Read A Book Or Notice Something Happen On The Street And Have An Idea For A Movie, And It Just Continues From There On In. You're Just Reacting To Dialogue, A Performance, An Audition, A Headache, A Piece Of Furniture, A Piece Of Clothing.

Humanizing Good People Is Kind Of Boring And I Don't Really See The Value In It... Humanizing Tricky Characters Is Exhilarating, And Making Audience Films Out Of Indie Subjects Excites Me.

There Are Only So Many Movies You Can Direct. And Yet There Are Movies That I Want To Make Sure Make It To The Screen In As Honest A Way As Possible.

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.

I'm Not Michael Moore. I Think Michael Moore Wants To Tell You How To Think. He Wants To Give You Answers. I Make Movies To Raise My Own Personal Questions And Not To Give Answers.
