My Writing Voice Is Very

Most People Are Nostalgic In A Way That They're Fond Of The Past, But They Still Are Happy That They Are Where They Are Now. You Know, When You Say, 'oh, High School Was This Or That,' You Don't Want To Go Back. No Matter How Much You Loved High School, You Don't Want To Actually Be Back In High School. I Certainly Wouldn't.

When You're Young, You Want To Make Every Kind Of Film: Musicals, Westerns, Horror. Slowly You Begin To Hear Your Own Voice. I Hope People Receive What I Do As Small, Personal Films That Are Somewhat Contrarian About Their Main Characters.

I Hate Movies That Tell People What To Think. I'm Proud That Democrats Thought 'thank You For Smoking' Was Their Film And Republicans Thought It Was Theirs. I'm Proud That Pro-choice People Thought 'juno' Was Their Film And Pro-life People Thought It Was Theirs.

As Far As Writing, I Like Watching Bad Movies. Nothing Stops Me In My Tracks More Than Watching A Great Film Like 'the Godfather' Or 'dog Day Afternoon' Or 'the Graduate.' You Watch One Of Those, And You Never Want To Write Again. Whereas With Bad Movies, It Makes You Think, If That Counts, I Certainly Could Write.

Really, It's The Director's Job To Disappear And Allow The Movie To Just Feel.
