Awards Movies Are Normally Sort Of... Life-affirming

It's A Very American Thing To Hide Away From Death.

You Can’t Take Everything On. That’s Why When People Ask How Does This Film Fit Into My Oeuvre. I Say 'i Don’t Know. I Don’t Think In Those Terms’. If I Did, I Might Become Incapacitated By Fear . . . How Do You Eat A Whale? One Bite At A Time. How Do You Shoot A 150-day Movie? You Shoot It One Day At A Time.

You Know, I Don't Think I've Ever Listened To Someone's Commentary. Ever.

Look, It's Nice. I Like The Fact That Critics Liked This Movie, But Most Of The Movies That I've Made, You'll Find A Handful Of People That Love It And More Than A Few Other Handfuls Of People Hate It. If I Was Invested In That, I Would've Given Up Long Ago.

Oh, Yeah, I Love Dvd's. I Don't Have What You'd Call An Extensive Collection, Maybe A Couple Of Hundred Or So. But I Have Something On Almost All The Time.
