I Think You Just Keep Going. I've Been That Way, My Whole Life.

There's A Lot Of Hyperventilation That Takes Off Before The [sundance Film] Festival, A Lot Of Buzz. Every Year We Hear, This Is Going To Be The New This, This Is Going To Be The New That, And It Never Is. The Buzz Just Doesn't Mean Anything. I'm Glad It Doesn't. Because I Think The Festival Shows That What Succeeds Is Content.

I Look At Going To Hollywood As Going Behind Enemy Lines. You Parachute In, Set Up The Explosion, Then Fly Out Before It Goes Off.

All Of The Films That I've Made Are About The Country I Live In And Grew Up In... And I Think If You're Going To Put An Artist's Eye To It, You're Going To Put A Critical Eye To It. I've Always Been Interested In The Gray Area That Exists Between The Black And White, Or The Red And Blue, And That's Where Complexity Lies.
