If You Establish Rules And Play By

I Have A Lot Of Women Friends - I Feel Like I Finally Matured A Little. But Initially I Was Attracted To Some Of Them. I Liked Everything They Were About. I Think Men Are Just Taught: "okay, Well Then, I Should Try To Have Sex With Them." I'm Just Lucky That It Went In The Friendship Direction, And It Became A Much Stronger Bond That's Lasted A Long Time. You Wonder How Many Potentially Great Friends You Lose Along The Way Because You Become Lovers And It Is So Painful When It's Over And You Can't Turn It Into A Positive Friendship.

Monogamy, Monotony. There's Only A Couple Of Letters...

It's Luck That One Thing Works Out And One Doesn't, It's Sort Of Happenstance.

Normally My Process Is To Sit In A Room And Read A Script And Talk About It And Ask Questions And Just Create A Dialogue. That Goes All The Way Through Shooting. All Kinds Of Thoughts And Ideas Can Find Their Way In There. As Long As You're All On - We're Just All Trying To Tell The Story So My Job As A Director Is Just To Find Out What This Film Wants To Be Based On, It's Just Words On A Page At Some Point But Then It Just Needs To Go To Some Level Of Believable Storytelling. I'm Discovering The Film As I Make It, To Some Degree.

I Have A Lot Of Films That I Haven't Gotten Made, And That Continues To Trouble Me. But Someday, Some Way Or Another, I Think I Will. It's All About Timing. There's A Moment When You're Hot And Studios Will Make Your Next Film, And Then There's A Moment When You're Really Cold, And They Couldn't Care Less What You Want To Do Next. That's When You Have To Recede And Make Lower-budgeted Films.
