I Like People That Like To Work

Hollywood Is Great. I Also Think It's Stupid And Small-minded And Shortsighted.

When You Go And You Tell A Studio And That It's An Ensemble, That Doesn't Mean A Lot To Them. But, My Hats Off To Paramount And Warner Brothers, Because When We Told Them That These Were The Kinds Of People That We Want To Get, Across The Board, They Were Unbelieveably Enthusiastic About It.

Human Beings Are Amazing At Finding Ways To Waste Their Own Time.

In Film, We Sculpt Time, We Sculpt Behavior And We Sculpt Light.

You Can’t Take Everything On. That’s Why When People Ask How Does This Film Fit Into My Oeuvre. I Say 'i Don’t Know. I Don’t Think In Those Terms’. If I Did, I Might Become Incapacitated By Fear . . . How Do You Eat A Whale? One Bite At A Time. How Do You Shoot A 150-day Movie? You Shoot It One Day At A Time.
