The Things That Are More My Own

I Want To Try Not To Repeat Myself. But Then I Seem To Do It Continuously In My Films. It's Not Something I Make Any Effort To Do. I Just Want To Make Films That Are Personal, But Interesting To An Audience. I Feel I Get Criticized For Style Over Substance, And For Details That Get In The Way Of The Characters. But Every Decision I Make Is How To Bring Those Characters Forward.

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.

Sometimes If The People Are Up For Trying Something That I'm Interested In, It Can Be A Great Experience.

I Don't Think Any Of Us Are Normal People.

People Often Call And Say: "can You Help Me To Get Bill Murray In Our Movie." But I'm Always Like, "well I Don't Know How To Do That!" I've Sometimes Tried And Not Been Able To Get Him But Then I'll Suddenly Be Very Surprised By The Thing That He Will Suddenly Decide To Do.
