Directing Is Too Hard, It

I Think American Films Right Now Are Suffering From An Excess Of Scale. Lots Of Movies We're Seeing Now Are More Akin To Video Games Than Stories About Human Life And Relationships. Twelve- To 20-year-olds Are Maybe The Largest Economic Force In The Us Movie Business. I'm Not A Very Nostalgic Person - But I Enjoy A Good Story.

I Get An Opportunity To Communicate With The Audience About The Movie That I've Made. I Get The Chance To Bring Attention To The Film That I've Made. I Care A Lot About The Movies That I Make. I Want Them To Reach An Audience, And I Want Them To Be Successful. I Promote Nearly Everything That I Do, Unless I've Got Some Bad Taste In My Mouth.

I Had Never Even Thought About Doing Something That I'd Never Done Before Or Proving Anything.

The Only Thing That I Have Done That Is Not Mitigated By Luck, Diminished By Good Fortune, Is That I Persisted, And Other People Gave Up.

I Had No Idea What I Wanted To Do With My Life, So Nothing Of What I Was Studying Seemed To Fit. I Know Now That I Should Have Taken Advantage Of That Time And That I Missed A Great Deal Of The Opportunity To Educate Myself.
