Try To Produce Your Own Films, Avoid

I Wanted To Make Sure That The Environment Of The Shooting Itself Was Not That Controlled, And The Way To Go About That Course Was To Work With As Small A Crew As Possible.

We're Lucky To Be Making Films. My Crew And I Have Been Working Together For A Long Time. I Think That That's What Emanates.

One Of The Huge Advantages Of Shooting In The Winter Is That Locations That Wouldn't Have Been Available To Us Suddenly Were, Like Yorkville. ... It's Just Specific Streets And Specific Angles. I Think That's What's Always Kind Of Shocking About Some Cities: They Are Really About Intersections.

It Was Very Important That It Be Done In Such A Way That It Be Executed With Complete Conviction. If I Had Done It Both Ways, If I Was Trying To Cover Myself In Case It Didn't Work, Then It Would Have Been To No Purpose.

I'm Obsessed With This Idea Of Storytellers And People Who Have A Narrative, And Sometimes Sustain A Relationship Because They're Telling A Narrative And Someone Is Listening To That. Often The Nature Of The Relationship Is Determined By How Well They Tell The Story, Or Someone Else's Ability To Suspend Disbelief, Or Infuse Into Their Narrative Something Which They May Not Even Be Aware Of.
