I Don't Have Any Kind Of Ideology

I Suppose I Could Try To Be Some Avant-garde Artist If I Wanted To, But That Doesn't Interest Me As Much.

When A Film Like Chris Nolan's Memento Cannot Get Picked Up, To Me Independent Film Is Over. It's Dead.

I've Tried To Get Better About Weighing What I Think The Accessibility Of An Idea Is Against The Cost Of Executing It. I've Tried To Be Smarter About That, Because If You're Not Smart About That, You're Going To Be Unemployed. But I'm Still Mystified About What Works For People. And I'm Not Talking About My Movies, I'm Talking In General. I'm Mystified By The Stuff That Doesn't Work. I'm Mystified By What's Going On In The Critical Side, Too.

Lying Is Like Alcoholism. You Are Always Recovering.

My First Three Movies, I Didn't Start Editing Until We Were Finished Shooting. That's Unthinkable To Me Now.
