I Don't Like To Put People In

It's Part Of My Job To Maintain The Emotional Reality And The Naturalism Even When The Atmosphere Is Contrived.

Every Great Idea Is On The Verge Of Being Stupid.

I Had A Lot Of Encouragement And Tolerance From My Parents, But I Also Have Many Friends Who Didn't Get That From Their Parents And In A Way They Have More Strength From Spending Years Where Nobody Believed In Them.

I Like Collaboration, I Like To Incorporate Other People's Ideas [and] That's What Happens When You Do A Big Movie. Unless You're Called Stanley Kubrick And You Do An Independent Movie For Like $200 Million.

I Think The Purpose Of Test Screenings Is Different For The Studio And For The Filmmaker. For The Studio, I Think They Want To Know Whether The Film Works Or Not.
