I'm Not A Big Proponent Of Happiness.

I Embrace The Messiness Of Life. I Find It So Beautiful Actually.

My Main Concern Is Quality And I Think There Is Quality To Be Found In All Categories Of Filmmaking.

I Like Billy Beane For The Fact That He - His Idiosyncrasies, That He Can't Watch The Games Without Getting Too Emotional, That He Often Has Food Down His Shirt, That He Tends To Break A Few Chairs Now And Then. I Mean, These Things Make Him Human.

It's Hard To Be Surprised By A Film. It's Hard To Be Surprised By Another Actor Or By A Director When You've Seen Enough And Been Around. So When I Am, Or When I Forget That I'm Watching Someone's Movie, Or When I Don't Know How Someone Made A Certain Turn That I Didn't Expect... You Know, I'm In.

I Come From The Belief That All Good Films Find Their Time Whether It's On Opening Week Or Sometime Later. That's Certainly True With Some Of My Favourite Films That Might Relate To This [the Assassination Of Jesse James] Film In Terms Of Cadence Like Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid, Or Mccabe & Mrs Miller Or Days Of Heaven. I Found Them 10 To 20 Years After They Were Made.
