I Have A Lot Of

One Of The Reasons I Love Making Movies Is Because It's An Opportunity To Share With The World A Different Way Of Being Or A Different Way Of Living Or Seeing The World. If It's Something You've Already Seen Before, If I Have Too Many Reference Points For It, Then It's Not Exciting For Me To Make.

I Try To Find Some Sort Of Meditative Hobby To Do On Set, And It's Different For Every Film. There's A Lot Of Downtime, But I Don't Like Reading On Set Because It Feels Like You're Taking Yourself Out Of Your World, Instead Of Being Present. And Then, You Feel Like You're Not Ready To Do Whatever You Have To Do.

I Feel Like The Movie Is Reminding People Of Who They Are, Which Is What I Think All Great Art Does.

Whenever You Want Something That You're Not Going To Get, Suddenly The Whiney 3-year-old Comes Out In You.

I Have Always Been Really Picky About The Films That I Make, Because I Think That There's Such An Incredible Opportunity To Bring Up Questions When You're Making Movies, And Some Of My Favorite Films Bring Up Big Questions. They Are Movies That, When You Walk Away From It, It Hits You As Something Deeper, And It's A Great, Fun Way To Be Able To Bounce Around Some Of These Harder Concepts In Our Heads.
