Artwork Can Be A Portal, A Kind

I Love Working With Actors. If You Cast The Right Person In The Right Part At The Right Time, They Make You Look Like A Better Writer And Director Than You Really Are.

I Mean, There Are Many Other Directors Who Are Probably Both More Skilled And Excited To Adapt Novels Or Work Within Certain Genre Conventions. I'd Like To Do That Kind Of Work Someday, But For Better Or Worse I'm Too Drawn By My Own Material.

Narcissism And Self-deception Are Survival Mechanisms Without Which Many Of Us Might Just Jump Off A Bridge.

I Don't Make Movies With The Idea That People Are Going To Walk Out Of Them Feeling Comfortable Or Better About Themselves Or More Secure In Their Own Biases Or Opinions.

When I Go To The Movies, I Do Like To See Things That Surprise Me, A Little Bit, In Ways That Seem Truthful To The World That We Live In.
