When You're Working On A Creative Thing,

I Tend To Have A Kind Of Tunnel Vision When I'm Looking At An Individual Piece.

I've Been Friends With The Guys In Radiohead For A Lot Of Years, And I Watch The Way Those Guys Work With Incredible Envy. Because Whatever The Slings And Arrows Of Dealing With The Record Business, At The End Of The Day, They Have Total Creative Autonomy. They Don't Need A Lot To Do What They Do, And Thom [yorke] And Jonny [greenwood] And The Guys Have Their Own Joint In Their Hometown.

I Have This Embedded Faith In The Process Through Which Films Of A Certain Type Get Discovered On Longer Timelines.

Fame Is Very Corrosive And You Have To Guard Very Strictly Against It.

When I Think About Directing A Film, The Thing That Stops Me Short Is Wondering If I'm A Natural At It The Way I Think You, And Pta, And Fincher Are Born Directors. Maybe Some People's Talent Is In Understanding The Ways That Film Communicates, Without Dialogue, Without Plot.
