Sand Is Overrated. It's Just

I Really Like When Critics Reveal Their Subjectivity And Their Humanity. I Prefer It When People Say Nice Things, But If They Say Not-nice Things Or Things That Are Critical, I'm Open To It And I Accept It. I Mean, I Have To Live With It. But I Do Think There's A Dishonesty In Not Acknowledging That You're A Person With An Opinion. I Think It's Almost Like A Power Grab.

I Think Directing And Writing Are Very Different Jobs. Obviously, Directing Is A More Social And Managerial Job. The Other Thing About Directing Is That It's A Very, Very Pragmatic Job, And Writing Isn't.

I Do A Lot Of Things Intuitively. I'm Not Often Consciously Aware Of What I'm Doing. It's Like In A Dream: There's Something Going On That's Powerful But You Don't Know Exactly Why.

You Spend Most Of Your Time As A Director Trying To Move Forward With The Movie. It Happens On A Daily Basis, If Not More Than Once A Day, That You Are Struggling With Budgetary Constraints. Whereas When You're Writing, The Limitation That You Have Is Your Imagination. So It's Decidedly Non-pragmatic.

I Think Everything I Do Is Based On My Experience In The World In One Way Or Another.
