I'm Normally Drawn To Something I Haven't

I Think Over The Course Of 14 Films, I'm Returning To A Place That I Know To Tell A Story... The Same Way Spielberg Returned To Fantasy, Lucas Returned To The 'star Wars' Saga, Or John Ford Returned To The Western.

My Department Is To Get Actors To Do Stuff.

Usually When I Read Something, First Of All I'm Looking For The Story And Then When I Reread It, I'm Sort Of Checking Every Part Of It To See If Every Scene Is Necessary.

When You're On A Film And You're Doubting Something, It's Usually Because You Don't Think The Audience Is Going To Like It.

Free Time Keeps Me Going. It's Just Something That's Always Been A Part Of My Life. I Was Originally A Painter, And I Made Films Sort Of As An Extension Of That, And Then I Started To Try To Make Dramatic Films Because The Early Films Were Experimental Films.
