I'm Normally Drawn To Something I Haven't

The Area Of Teenage Life Is Not Necessarily Rarefied; We've All Gone Through That Period. It's Not As Rarefied As A Western Or A Space Adventure Or A Gangster Film, But It Has Its Own Dynamic.

As I Do With Most Films, I Try And Find Some Music That You Could Use Throughout, Not Just A Sampling Of Lots Of Different Artists.

Once You're Directing, You're Kind Of In A Certain Mode, Where You're Taking Whatever Is On The Page And Forming It Into The Film That You Think It Might Want To Be. So Whether It's My Writing Or Not, I Still Try To Work With It In The Same Way.

I Think That In Some Cases, I've Made Films That Have A Sentimental Quality, At Least As Part Of The Film.

I Have My Ideas Of What A Good Documentary Is, But Drama Is A Different Animal Because You're Arranging Everything.
