I've Noticed That Sometimes When

I Want My Audience To Say, "wow, This Is A Film I'm Benefiting From. I'm Benefiting From What This Filmmaker Is Trying To Say." I'd Always Rather Learn And Be Entertained Than Be Entertained And Feel Myself Getting Dumber By The Moment.

People Don't Want To Be Plagued By Not Knowing-they Want Answers.

I Think My Audience Is Smart. If There's A Way To Be Entertained And Get Things Out - Real Things, Not Stupid Moral Crap - That's The Best.

All These Directors Who Do Different Locations Forget That One Room Can Be Shot From A Million Different Angles And A Million Different Ways. When I Direct A Movie, I'm Going To Use That.

I Was Really Impressed With Naomi [watts]. She Was A Producer, And She Was Doing Things That I Wasn't Really Aware Of. The Way She Was Able To Switch From Handling Problems To Shoot A Really Difficult Scene, I Think Is A Real Testament To Her True Ability.
