My Working Life Is Me Doing What

Nobody's Talking About Movies The Way They're Talking About Their Favorite Tv Shows.

Ego Is Something That Everybody, Creative Especially, Has To Grapple With. You Need Enough Ego To Keep Going But Not So Much Ego That You're Deaf Or Blind, That You're Making A Mistake And Can't Fix The Course.

If You're Going To Make A Movie For Ten Thousand You Can Talk Everybody Into Doing It For Free. You Could Make A Really Good-looking Movie Right For Ten Grand, If You Have An Idea.

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.

Surprisingly, I Don't Throw Away That Much. I Don't Move Forward With A Lot Of Things Unless They're Going Somewhere. You Also Have To Remember That When You're Working With Other Artists, You Have To Be Really Careful About How You Deal With That Stuff.
