Sometimes, The People Who Are Helping You

When You Get To Be 23, 24 Or 25, You Start To Freeze Up And Become An Adult.

Modern-day Cinema Takes The Form Of A Sermon. You Don't Get To Think, You Only Get To Receive Information.

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.

The Biopic Also Wasn't A Form That I Necessarily Believed In, Because You Can Never Really Get It Right, You Know? It's Also A Form That's Very Popular - The Straight-ahead Biopic.

Once You're Directing, You're Kind Of In A Certain Mode, Where You're Taking Whatever Is On The Page And Forming It Into The Film That You Think It Might Want To Be. So Whether It's My Writing Or Not, I Still Try To Work With It In The Same Way.
