Most Of The Movies That I've Made

I'm A New Yorker, You Know.

Screenplays Aren't Written To Be Read, They're Written To Be Made Into Movies.

I Remember As A Kid Having The Offer Of A Scholarship, That It Was Going To Be Like Going To Mars, And Deciding To Stay In My Public School.

When You're Working On A Creative Thing, Everyone Has An Idea, And They're Pushing It. The First Time You Work With Anybody, You Have To Get Comfortable With The Way Another Person Pushes Hard For What They Want. Familiarity Breeds Contempt, People Say. But I've Found, For Creative Things, Familiarity Breeds Peace Of Mind, Because You Realize You Know Someone Better. You Trust Each Other. You Know Not To Take Things A Certain Way, Or A Wrong Way. You Get To Where You Don't Have To Waste Quite So Much Time With Diplomacy. Things Are A Little More Efficient.

Every Little Thing That People Know About You As A Person Impedes Your Ability To Achieve That Kind Of Terrific Suspension Of Disbelief That Happens When An Audience Goes With An Actor And Character He's Playing.
