It's A Weird Thing To Say, But

If I'm A Director And I Read A Script And I Say Yeah I Really Want To Do This, I Would Never Walk Away Because The Deal Wasn't Very Good - That I Wasn't Getting Paid Very Much Or That The Chances That I Would See Anything On The Back End Were Remote Because Of The Financial Waterfall And The Way It's Structured. I Would Never Use That As A Reason Not To Do Something.

I'm Always A Little Unnerved When I See A Show That's Set In The Past That Implies In Any Way That Things Were Nicer Then.

I Feel I Need To Really Think About Whether There's A Way To Use What Skill I Have To Address Things That Outrage Me, Like The 13 Year Old Girl Getting Stoned To Death. Because I Don't Think Making A Movie Is Going To Help That, Or Change That.

Surprisingly, I Don't Throw Away That Much. I Don't Move Forward With A Lot Of Things Unless They're Going Somewhere. You Also Have To Remember That When You're Working With Other Artists, You Have To Be Really Careful About How You Deal With That Stuff.

Making A Film That's Supposed To Be Fun To Watch Is Really Hard - That's The Weird Irony Of It.
