One Of The Things I Enjoyed The

I Have Always Wanted To Work In The Theater. I've Always Felt The Glamour Of Being Backstage And That Excitement, But I've Never Actually Done It - Not Since I Was In 5th Grade, Really. But I've Had Many Plays In My Films. I Feel Like Maybe Theater Is A Part Of My Movie Work.

If I Have Ideas, I Want To Put Them In The Movie. It's Not A Minimalist Approach At All But I Feel Like It's For The Audience. It's About Seeing How Much Texture We Can Give It And Seeing How Many Things Are There For People To Latch On To... I Just Want To Do It The Way I Want And I Feel Like It Won't Be Helpful For Me If I Start Worrying About That. I Just Have To Follow My Instincts. Everyone Is Going To Respond Differently To It And Everybody's Right - That's Their Point Of View. That's How The Story Intersects With Their Lives.

The One Thing I've Observed Over The Years Is The Best Way To Get An Actor To Not Want To Play A Certain Role Is To Offer It To Them. That Makes Them Say, "well, Maybe It's Not That Good. These Guys Don't Want Me To Do This..."

Paris Is A Place Where, For Me, Just Walking Down A Street That I've Never Been Down Before Is Like Going To A Movie.

When I See The First Dailies On Any Movie, I Usually Feel That I Had No Idea How This Combination Of Ingredients Was Going To Mix Together, What It Was Going To Produce.
