My God Is Narrative Filmmaking.

I Don't Make Films That Are Easy To Market, Unfortunately. I Think That 'pi' Was The Easiest One, Because We Had That Symbol To Stick Up Everywhere, So That Was A Good Gimmick, And Created A Good Mystery, And We Didn't Have To Do Huge Scale.

My Hope Is That I'm Going To Continue To Make More And More Challenging Work That's Going To Come Out More And More Interesting. I Don't Know If That Will Always Continue To Happen, But Every One Of My Films Has Definitely Been A Progression As Far As Complexity Of Narrative, Character, And Plot.

Right After I Did 'the Fountain,' I Wanted To Go Make A Documentary Or Something That Was Less Constructed - More Natural. I Was Searching For A Project, And Sniffing Around, 'the Wrestler' Fit Right In

It's Not That Much Of A Difference. Basically, Your Job Is The Same As A Film Director. It's A Triangle Between Creativity, Money, And Time. But They Don't Really Change. You're Ultimately Trying To Get The Most Creativity And Time With The Money That You Have.

I Don't Think I Make Genre Films. I Think Studios Try To Sell Films As Genres Because They Know How To Do That. There's Nothing Wrong With That. I Don't Know What I Make. It's Sort Of A Pot Roast, All My Films.
