I've Always Said That I Myself Am

What Makes Me Angry Is The Idea That People Would Be Going To A Movie Because Of What I Said About It. It Makes Me Feel, I Don't Know, Arrogant, Self-important, Self-aggrandizing, Whatever. Like I'm Being Used.

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.

You Always Have To Be Ahead Of The Audience So That They Have To Always Catch Up And Know The Movie's Not Quite Going Exactly Where You Think It's Going, Or Expecting It To Be Going.

All I Mean Is, I'm Not The Kind Of Audience Comedy Directors Want At A Test Screening Because I Seldom Laugh, And If I Do, It's Not Very Loud. That Doesn't Mean I Don't Like The Movie.

I Always Make Mistakes And I Always Fix Things Up, As Best I Can, In The Cutting Room.
