I'm Interested In Social Commentary.

When I Made My First Film, I Didn't Think Of It As Directing, So It Wasn't Like I Set Out To Become A Director.

There's Really No Difference Between What I Do And What A Male Filmmaker Might Do. I Mean We All Try To Make Our Days, We All Try To Give The Best Performances We Can, We Try To Make Our Budget, We Try To Make The Best Movie We Possibly Can.

I Don't Know If I Thrive In Normal Life.

My Criteria For Doing A Television Series Never Changed. I Wanted More Stability, I Wanted More Of A Sense Of Family, I Wanted To Do Light Comedy.

I Always Want To Make Films. I Think Of It As A Great Opportunity To Comment On The World In Which We Live. Perhaps Just Because I Just Came Off "the Hurt Locker" (2008) And I'm Thinking Of The War And I Think It's A Deplorable Situation. It's A Great Medium In Which To Speak About That. This Is A War That Cannot Be Won, Why Are We Sending Troops Over There? Well, The Only Medium I Have, The Only Opportunity I Have, Is To Use Film. There Will Always Be Issues I Care About.
