I Think When You Have

People Think You Have This Exciting And Romantic Life, Because You Project This Exciting, Romantic Life On Screen. But In Reality You're Just Doing The Same Thing As Everyone Else - You Know, Sitting Around Watching Tv With Your Gut Hanging Out, Playing With Your Kid, Or Even Sitting On The Toilet. You Know What's Weird? Even I'm Not That Interested In My Personal Life Any More.

I've Consciously Taken On Material That's A Bit Too Much For Me But Not An Overreach. The First Movie, Just About Performances. 'the Town,' I Learned How To Work Broader Material, Develop Tension, Direct Bigger Scenes, Action Sequences. 'argo,' I Experimented With Film Stock, Widened The Scope Of My Geography.

Family Is A Wonderful Thing, But It Doesn't Mean You Can't Do Other Stuff In Your Life. In Fact, Having A Family Makes Whatever Other Thing You Have That Much Richer. If It Was Just Me, I'd Be Home Alone And Think, 'well, Something Good Happened At Work,' But It's Much Nicer To Share It With People You Love.

I Really Think That Everybody Would Like To Be An Actor. Why Wouldn't They? It's Great Work If You Can Get It. The One Thing That Prevents Most People From Saying, 'i'm Just Gonna Go To Hollywood!' Is That It Seems Unrealistic.

Sometimes I Get Insecure About Being A Real Director Because I Look At The Great Directors, And They Have Such Command. But Maybe That Keeps Me Critical Of Myself. Maybe It Keeps Me Moving Forward.
