I Would Like To Do A Movie

People Seem To Think That My Movies Are So Carefully Coordinated And Arranged - And In A Lot Of Ways, They Are - But Every Single Time I Make A Movie, I Feel That Every Director Makes These Choices. You Make Choices About Your Script, You Make Choices About Your Actors, And How You're Going To Stage It, And How You're Going To Shoot It, And What The Costumes Are Going To Be Like, And In Every Single Detail, You Make That Decision. And For Me, What Ends Up Happening Is, I Wind Up Surprised At The Combination Of All These Ingredients. It Never Is Anything Like What I Expected.

I Wouldn't Say That I'm Particularly Bothered Or Obsessed With Detail.

I Don't Really Wanna Think About Themes. I Wanna Just Think About The Experience Of The Movie. I Feel Like, As Soon As I Reduce It To A Theme, Once I Write That Sentence, It Won't Be That Great. I Feel Like There's More Potential For It To Mean Something Interesting If I'm Not Forcing It To Mean Something I've Already Decided.

Usually When I'm Making A Movie, What I Have In Mind First, For The Visuals, Is How We Can Stage The Scenes To Bring Them More To Life In The Most Interesting Way, And Then How We Can Make A World For The Story That The Audience Hasn't Quite Been In Before.

The Movies I Make Tend Not To Be Quite Reality But The Characters Are Inspired By Real People And They're Always Very Personal.
