'juno' Really Changed Things For Me And

When I Think Of 'nightmare On Elm Street,' There Was A Warmth To Those Teenagers That I Related To. They Were Not Aware That They Were In The Middle Of A Horror Film, And I Really Loved Those Characters And I Empathized With Them.

I Grew Up On Movie Sets, I'm Comfortable On Sets. A Movie Set Is Like A Circus. I Don't Understand Why Moviemaking Has To Be Such An Insane Environment.

And I Certainly Like Being On A Plane, Next To A Stranger, Having Conversations That You'd Never Otherwise Have. You're Unplugged, Your Phone Doesn't Work, You're Not Online.

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.

If Someone Else Made 'up In The Air' Or 'thank You For Smoking' Or 'juno,' I Would Have Wanted To Rip Their Head Off. I Need That Same Sort Of Passion For Every Project I Take On.
