I'm Usually Trying To React

My Department Is To Get Actors To Do Stuff.

I Think Over The Course Of 14 Films, I'm Returning To A Place That I Know To Tell A Story... The Same Way Spielberg Returned To Fantasy, Lucas Returned To The 'star Wars' Saga, Or John Ford Returned To The Western.

The Area Of Teenage Life Is Not Necessarily Rarefied; We've All Gone Through That Period. It's Not As Rarefied As A Western Or A Space Adventure Or A Gangster Film, But It Has Its Own Dynamic.

I've Always Been Interested In How To Present Something That Relates To Our Reality - Which Is Not Really... I Don't Even Know If Documentary Itself Does As Good A Job. It Has Its Own Problems In Trying To Get At The Reality Of The Situation.

I've Told People Who Have Just Started To Make A Film That The One Thing You Might Experience Is This Feeling That Everybody Is Conspiring Against You, Because You're Not Necessarily Able To Tell What's Real And What's Not.
