I Find Nice People Kind Of Boring.

I'm Trying To Figure Myself Out Through My Movies. Whether It's Big Stuff Like What We're Doing Here, Or Little Stuff Like Why Aren't I Happier? With Every Film I Feel Like I'm Apologising For Something. I Feel I'm Most Successful When I'm Looking For Something That Embarrasses Me About My Character That I'd Like To Expose.

I Want My Movies To Be Audience Experiences. As Much As I Like Michael Haneke, I'm Not Going To Make A Haneke Film. That's Just Not In My Dna.

I Really Enjoy Theater. I Just Went To See 'death Of A Salesman,' And It Knocked Me On My Ass.

I'm A Kind Of Private Guy.

The First Set I Remember Was 'ghostbusters.' It Was A Scene In Which The Street Erupted. I Remember Even At Seven Years Old Thinking, 'wow, If You Direct A Movie, You Can Break The Streets Of New York.'
