When Things Go Right It's Hard To

I Was Lucky That I Was Getting Exposed To A Lot Of Different Kinds Of Films, And I Was Liking Them All. So It Seemed Logical To Me That You Could - As In The Style Of The Studio Directors Of The 30s And 40s - Jump From One Genre To The Next, With The Same Satisfaction.

I Think I'm Good At Amplifying An Actor's Strengths, And Minimizing Their Weaknesses. And They All Have Strengths And Weaknesses.

I'm In The Process Of Working Out An Arrangement To Make Some Very, Very, Very Small Films In The Midst Of All These Films And Maybe That Will Help. But You Get Tired Of Talking. You Just Want To Do It.

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.

I Have No Shame In Making Music That Maybe, If You Listen To It Long Enough, You'll Realize You've Heard This Or That Part Of It Before. I'm Still Very Excited By An Amazingly Written Song, So That's Really The Thing That I Work On When I Make Records With People.
