Being Alone Is Better Than

When You're Trying To Get Laid, Everything's Great, But Once You've Been With Someone Eight Years And The Future Is Not Finite, You Have Time To Sit And Really Examine Every Little Thing That Irritates You.

I'd Be Fine To Make Movies And Have Them Never Come Out. But You Have To Deal With The Business Side. You Can't Get Too Emotionally Invested, Because Again, You've Got No Control. There's Going To Be Some Huge Film Out That Everyone Goes To, And It Probably Won't Be Mine.

I Didn't Have Any Set Idea Of What Kind Of Filmmaker I Wanted To Be. I Knew I Wanted To Tell Stories That Meant Something To Me, But I Never Said I Was Going To Be The Weird, Avant-garde Guy.

I Think Casting Is Really Important. Finding The Right Sensibility For The Right Part Is An Art In Itself. If You're Off There, You Make It Harder On Yourself As A Director. And It's Fun To Work That Out With The Actors. I Don't Think There's Any Magic To Directing Actors. It's Very Instinctual. Working With Actors Is Really One Of My Favorite Creative Moments Of The Whole Process, And The Most Fun, Because It's Collaborative. I Spend A Lot Of Time Rehearsing. I'm Very Rehearsal-oriented, Probably Because I Have Some Background In Theater. I Like Knowing What Will Work Beforehand.

It's Kinda Like D.h. Lawrence Had This Idea Of Two People Meeting On A Road, And Instead Of Just Passing And Glancing Away, They Decide To Accept What He Calls The Confrontation Between Their Souls. It's Like Freeing The Brave, Reckless Gods Within Us All.
