I Had Wanted To Do A Comedy.

Even When You're Making A Movie About Life, Death Is A Presence, And I Guess It's Part Of My Dramatic Viewpoint. I'm Not Sure Why Exactly.

Free Time Keeps Me Going.

I'm A Junkie. I Like Drugs, I Like The Whole Lifestyle, But It Just Didn't Pay Off.

In Rare Cases, I've Had Music Before I Shot The Movie. I Think That For 'good Will Hunting' I Had An Elliot Smith Record Or A Couple Of Them And I Just Somehow Felt Like The Sound Had Something To It That Reminded Me Of The Story. So In That Case There Was Music Beforehand.

There Are All Kinds Of Ways That People Present Their Films, But That's Kind Of A Good Feeling, If You Can Make It Seem Like The Characters Are Really There.
